Just acquired this 1965 Raleigh All Chrome

[TimothyNelson]

I was told a bit about it from the seller, supposed to be all original meticulously sourced parts minus the Brooks leather seat and custom leather handlebars but I do have the original handlebars that were included, what do we think, is anyone an expert on this particular beauty?

here's another from awhile back: @detroitbike

I know we're all about vintage American steel here but had to share this. These all chrome Raleighs don't come up often and this one's priced pretty well considering it's a 1966 and a men's frame. If it fit me I'd be on it. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/bik/6170811852.html

I know it took someone many many hours to clean and detail that bike, good job, thats alota bling.

The all-chrome ones were something kind of special and yours is a beaut! Supposedly given to high volume dealers as display pieces. I've seen several Sports and DL-1 models already. Most seem to be from the mid to late 60's. I have a somewhat crusty chrome 66' Sports and a chrome balloon tire DL-1 variant that nobody has been able to figure out what it is.

So, I've been debating and I think I've come to the conclusion that I would like to get decals back on her. Been looking on eBay, but I'd like to try to get decals exact or as close as possible to what may have been on the bike originally? Does anyone out there maybe have any possible idea of what I should be looking for or would I be best off just choosing what I like best?

Here's what I'm looking at.
