This is a really pretty, well cared for bicycle. Raleigh was known for putting their name on every part of the bicycle and this one even still retains the Raleigh branded crank arm bolt covers. It still has the pump peg on the down tube but the pump is missing and the pedals are not original. It does have new tires, a new saddle and new handlebar tape, though.
