Mike Dayton was asking about dates of Raleigh Lentons. The Lenton Gand Prix was available in August 1958 as I have lots of adverts for this model. It was priced at £27.19. 6 and was advertised as the machine Reg Harris trains on. There is an excellent article by Hillary Stone in Cycling Plus covering the Lenton models. Hilary's articles in this magazine on the various makes are well written and researched. I believe the Raleigh marque enthusiast of the VCC would be able to help date this frame. It used to be Paul Whatley. There is a wonderful collection of Lentons owned by a near neighbour in our village.
