Vintage 1970 Raleigh HERON Sprite 5 Speed Bicycle With HURST Shift All
Item History & Price
All original all functioning classic Raleigh HERON Sprite 5 speed bicycle with a HURST shifter. Labeled Nottingham England. This is a one owner gently used bicycle that has been garaged and well cared for over the decades. Serial #1729801 found on the frame under the seat indicates this beauty was made in 1970. Has some minor light paint scratches here and there to the green and white paint and very light surface pitting on the chrome but overall in very nice c...ondition. The front tire is original (says made in Great Britain) the rear tire looks to replaced. Both inflate and hold air. Comes with working front and rear lights that are powered by a working vintage rear tire "MILLER" Dynamo generator. The protective padded leather seat cover has preserved the original leather seat and has kept it in mint condition. The hanging leather saddle bag with metal locking clips still holds the vintage flat tire kit and the classic style chain guard still remains. I will leave any cleaning to the winning bidder if so desired. Questions welcomed and more specific photos can be sent on request. This is a pick up only auction.
