Raleigh Sprite 5-speed on the Road: Warm Weather


85 degrees and sunny here today - this calls for a lively bicycle to really get in some good exercise. The Raleigh Sprite 5-speed offers the excellent handling and proportions of the Raleigh Sports platform, but with an up-rated, 5-speed internal gear hub - the Sturmey Archer S5.


This particular Sprite I have had for a few years now, and it is in excellent shape. I really love the bronze green paint on this bike. It really was a deluxe offering for anyone who liked the Raleigh Sports 3-speed, but wanted a little more performance.
