Greetings All,

Offered is a time-warp condition men's 1975 Raleigh Sports, Model DL- 170, 21" size, in Coffee metallic. I bought this bike last year NOS

on Ebay, and have ridden it approximately 100 miles since. All the

chrome (and there's lots of it) is shiny ! The bike is all original,

except for the chain and sprocket, which were replaced to achieve

lower gearing. The original chain and sprocket are, however,

included, as are the original saddlebag, owner's manual and warranty

cards. The original (dutch made) tires and tubes, remarkably, hold

air, but should nonetheless be replaced at some point. The Brooks

B67 saddle, Dare grips, etc., are all in excellent condition. The

bike has been lubed and adjusted, and rides beautifully and rather

silently. My digital camera is, unfortunately, broken, so for

pictures and detail, please see the 1976 entry at

A beautiful machine, that is a bit big for me, can be yours for a

mere $300 plus shipping, or local pickup.
