I bought the bike a few days ago.
Any idea of the year when it was made?
I had first thought that it was early to mid '60s; the chain guard and top tube shifter style along with decals should put it into a fairly small window of year(s) of manufacture. Also, the Prestube rack should help to date it, not sure when Raleigh stopped using them. The rear derailleur is a Huret "Allvit", but I do not know if it was made in the '60s (I have one on a '66 bike, but an earlier version); that version was definitely used extensively in the early '70s. So maybe a very late '60s to early '70s model if the rear derailleur is original. I know some early Sprites were 10 speeds so your bike should be later than those models. Internal hub 5 speed bikes were also made in the '60s so I figure it is later than those models as well. All guesses based on what I've seen and ride. A very nice looking bike!
