The New World is much lighter and quicker than the 1948 Raleigh Dawn, which is closer to a full roadster, with rod brakes and a chain case.
The two frames differ- with the New World being more relaxed, but also lighter, smoother, and more elegant. The Raleigh frame is large and robust by comparison.
I'll be riding this Schwinn all weekend- it's really lively after riding the Raleigh Dawn for several weeks.
