Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage Raleigh Grand Sport road bicycle. Hand built in England in 1973 this bike features a beautiful alloy Stonglight crankset and a Brooks B17 leather saddle. Perfect for the steel loving rider or Raleigh collector, this bicycle is looking for a new home and it could be yours.
BIKE CONDITION
The bike is in good overall condition and free of bends and cracks. There is some surface corrosion on the top tube where the paint is worn. The white paint still has a good luster to it although there are many marks and scratches to be found throughout the bike. The bike appears to be all original with the exceptions of the newer rear tire and black cloth bar tape. The freewheel is currently sticking and needs to either be serviced/cleaned or replaced.
Aside from that this bicycle appears to be ridable, but we would recommend a tune up or safety check over by a qualified mechanic before riding.
This bicycle is being sold as is, please see photographs for details.
