Nice old Raleigh Popular Sports model from the early 1930s. The Bluemels mudguards are later replacement as are the rims and hubs. Overall the bike is nicely patina’d with most of chrome in fairly clean condition. The chrome on the front rim is quite pitted, but the rear cleans up very nicely with some elbow grease. The paintwork is original and quite rusty in places, but the tubes are all totally solid, if you were looking to repaint. It rides pretty well, but is no lightweight machine, so except a little leg work to get up to speed!
