I run into stuff like this all the time around here. About a week ago I called a guy about a Raleigh, we agreed on $45 for it. He kept blowing me off so I finally got a hold of him yesterday and he told me someone else offered him $50 so if I could go up in my price (that we already said deal on...

That house is in a part of Spokane called Brownes Addition. Some of their houses are from 1890-1910. Most are equally large and awesome. :0

The bike is in great condition, the 3 speed cable needs some messing with but other than that all original and all near perfect condition. Even has original treads and tubes. Guy I bought it from found it in an abandoned house. :)

My Raleigh built Western Flyer: Supposed to be red but is very faded out.

I picked up the bike a few hours ago, here is the link to my fresh finds thread. :) viewtopic.php?f=16&t=64847

Just picked this up today. Saw it on CL with one distant photo. I was drawn to it because it appeared to be orange or coppertone, I had never seen an orange brit. When I arrived however I discovered it is actually a ridiculously faded red bicycle. Oh well. lol Here are some photos, hub says made...

1970 Raleigh Sports:

People lie on my CL all the time. At first I thought maybe they were not lying and just knew nothing, but some things there is no way they did not know about. For example I have a 1970 Raleigh Sports that a guy called me about to sell to me (he kept my number after I bought I bike from him...

My mom and I went for a bike ride around her neighborhood and I got some photos of my Raleigh in the leaves. My 1970 Raleigh Sports: And here is a photo of my mom's 1961 J.C.Higgins: Tomorrow I am planning to take my 64 Phillips out for a ride to get some outdoor shots of it. Plus I am...

I figured, Raleigh had so many different bicycles afterall. I think what is attracting me is that it is orange. I do not really ever see orange brits. :)

Anyone have infomation about Western Flyer bicycles made in England? I ran across a CL ad of a Western Flyer with british looks. Considering buying it. Here is the link: http://spokane.craigslist.org/bik/3365008771.html

Here is Me (bald chick in green) going on the monthly vintage bike ride with my sister (standing next to me) and my husband (guy making weird face): I noticed alot of people on this thread showing off their tattoos. I guess that will be my next picture...if it gets warm enough in October to...

I hope so. My next step is to give it a Sturmey Acher 3 speed setup and new pedals. Unfortunatly the tire size is not working out and needs replaced. Still need some more ideas. :wink:

Unfortunatly I cannot remove the larger ring, it is the main part, the add on is the smaller ring behind it. I can set the chain on the smaller ring though. :)

Still working on it but here is what it is right now. :)

Here is what it looks like right now. Still a work in progress obviously. :)

I was thinking of doing that. There is a guy I know that has a women's green Raleigh Sports for $30. Just have to convince someone to drive me (he lives about 1 hour 45 mins away). :)

The brake pads do reach the rims. The tires are not a problem on the bike. My only issue is the rear hub, I need to switch it out for a 3 speed or something as simple. I was just wondering if it was possible to switch the hub and still keep the rims and treads.

I am planning on converting it back into a 3 speed or at least a 1 speed. My only issue is that the bike came with tires larger than normal, they are 26 x 1.90 Cheng Shin tires. I really would like to keep them, can I put a 3 speed hub on this tire?

Came accross an ad on my local CL of a Phillips Cantilever frame rat. The frame is the only thing original about it. Perfect find for me though, I am a british bicycle kind of person and have been wanting a british rat that can fit in with the cruiser type bicycles around where I live. As a plus...
