The Raleigh company makes me proud to be English! I must say you've done a splendid job on the sensitive restoration, bike looks great, well done!

Very nice. Late 50s 21" frame, original finish. Good bike. These were always geared a bit tall for me so I use 22T cogs on the hub.

Beautiful bike, this is the first time I see it and I love that fork. I noticed the chain guard right away at the beginning of the video and I think it looks cool an clean, would definitely keep it.

Thank you! I just checked out a few of your videos.

So cool to see another Raleigh Sports getting some love! I have a 1973 Sports, black, all original but missing the chain guard. I swapped the original Merriwether saddle for a Brooks B73 with 3 coil springs, and I love it. Next up for restoration, I have a '72 Sports step-through in bronze green, with a 3spd/coaster-brake Sturmey-Archer S3C hub. I'm curious about the wheels you used, are they 650b? Keep up the good work, I just added my subscription!😁

Thanks! Dang, I had an extra chain guard that I just dropped off to a guy that sells on eBay. I would have gladly shipped it to a good home. The rims are the original 26x1 3/8 (590) size. I wanted the same size so I could re-use the brakes. I will post a final video when it is 100%complete. I am documenting the build on ratrodbikes.com. The SA S3C hub is garbage. I would suggest replacing it with an AW and adding rim brakes.

What gear combination you used on that bike? Super cool bike btw.

Nice looking bike. But it's the least looking sports bike ever no?
