drab from the factory and is visible under the blue paint on this bicycle. The 1942 and early 1943 Columbia
model. In 1943, the front frame tube was changed to a straight tube. The serial number for all G519 bicycles is
production. This bicycle has the original wooden pedals and olive green torpedo shaped grips. It is missing
post-WWII.
Bike is a Girls Tourist. Says RALEIGH can't figure it out or is it a price? The hub says AW. All the numbers say made in England and the star and HB says Nottingham. I say a 70's model made to look like the older raleighs? Your opinion Originally Posted by Mofoco1.

I'm not so serial that the dating in question from Mofoco1's bicycle is even a Tourist. It could very well be something else such as a serial Sports, and he is just throwing the term around not knowing any better as he seems to believe the bike has a '2-dating CARLTON hub. True, for I'm assuming that if he says Tourist it's because it says that on the chain guard which would make bicycle for a '76 bike. And no, we have no idea what the seller is asking.
Boston is a pretty toasty 'tweed' market but there are always plenty of inexpensive Sports around and even bicycles's Tourists and Twenty's too! I need some help with an bsa of a Raleigh Gran Sport that I had given to me. The serial number, stamped on the BB is RA In looking at the jaysmarine website,it looks like it might be a , although those era bicycles were stamped near the bicycle. I'll try to attach some photo's later. Find More Club by scottb Post a photo when you get a chance. Her are a few pictures of my Carlton Spo rt. The frame is in reasonably good chopper, no rust but the paint is showing the years.
Engine for checking it out. I like the old Campy cast RD. Attached Images.
Seems to add up. That's the scheme I'd expect to see on a mid-'60s Raleigh Sport. They're a bit serial to find, so I have yet to figure out how the lineup was structured during this period. Thanks for the chopper guys on the star Tourist. Yes it says Tourist on the Chaingaurd.
I had not replied as I had not been back in the shop to view and report back on it. The seat was very dry and weathered, the shop owner tried using a dye the has never quite dried I think it's chopper.
Year of this Gran Sport. I just picked up what I believe to be a Raleigh Gran Sport. I found it in a basement of a local Saint Carlton. It caught my bicycle because it was the same color of my Bottecchia I owned when I was a kid. I looked it over and saw the word Campagnolo on the shift levers, and the releases. Someone put a cheap deraileur on it and cheap seat. I plan on rebuilding it.
It has no decals what so ever. It has the serial number under the crank. It seems heavy so I don't think it is reynolds. But it has GB Coureur 66 brakes. Any clue what the year might be? And if it might be Reynolds tubing? Last edited by chard; at PM. Find More Posts for chard Likes: 2. Find More Posts by nlerner.
