Hiawatha id help

[schaeferville]

Got this made in England 3 speed Hiawatha I came across. Was wondering if anyone could help with identifying it for me and if it is missing anything. Serial number 35wg(17)24-1051
Appreciate it thanks

Mid 1960s Raleigh built standard 3 speed that was sold by everyone with dozens of different names. Most likely made in Nottingham England. Hiawathas were a name brand at that time for Gamble Hardware stores so it was probably sold at one of them. There should be a date code on the hub such a 10 63 which would mean October 1963 which would probably make it a 1964 bike. You might get more information in the Lightweight section as the bike is technically a lightweight. Roger
