Rareish Raleigh -SoCal CL

-

KingSized HD

Wore out three sets of tires already!
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.

These were certainly specialty bikes, usually employed as dealer display items, but sometimes used as high-end 'status' bikes. This kind of bike would be most at home in a dealer's window display, though they were sold in some markets too as high-end (high-profile certainly) bicycles. I've seen all-chrome Sports models, and even all-chrome DL-1 style bikes with full chain cases and 2 inch balloon tires (a coveted configuration in some African markets where Raleigh had reach, and particularly in parts of Nigeria).
 
21" Raleigh Sports 1966 Dealers' 'Window Chrome' Bicycle, For Collecto - $499 (Los Angeles)
La Cienega Blvd at 18th Street
This one I am guessing is strictly for a collector. 21" Raleigh Sports 1966 Dealers' 'Window Chrome' model. The chrome models were never offered to general public, they were given to dealers only as a window display model. The one we have, as far as I can tell is all original with Brooks saddle. Not only it is cosmetically I would say in excellent condition considering the age, but also mechanically very sound. We are close to Culver City, on La Cienega, a bit North of the 10th freeway, stop by and check it out. If interested please contact us during business hours at
