Sold 1950s Raleigh Lenton Sports

[Foreigner]

Picked up as part of auction - anyone interested on here before I stick it on bay on Monday eve? Early 1950s judging by SA rear hub stamp - 9 / 50

£40 too much (do let me know)? Pick up only from Slough, can deliver if not too far....

Not surprised it sold so quickly - a very generous deal.

Sadly the handlebars are probably worth more than the bike!
Great look and patina, I hope it stays together and gets ridden.

That Sturmey bar- mounted shifter could also be a rarity -
I got one for my 40s hetch, upside down writing and long lever for drop mount, cost a few Bob iirc.

Passing on the good deal I got for three bikes at auction. I know parts are worth more than whole bike - the front lamp 'heron' holder and rear hub/shifters etc , but hopefully it will stay as is
