Autumn is beginning to set in here in western New England. I am still getting rides in, but also starting to think about winter projects - what I might like to work on during the cold, dark months. I came across this 1966 Raleigh Sports over the weekend on Facebook Market. It is in decent condition, but as with all the other old bikes I locate, will need some work to put it back on the road.
I am impressed with some of the parts on this bike that often turn up damaged: light set, handlebar grips, leather saddle, etc.
This winter, I have two definite projects: 1966 Raleigh Sports and 1948 Raleigh Sports. I also have one possible project: 1965 Schwinn Deluxe Racer. The Deluxe Racer is for sale as a project on the usual bike exchange websites, but if there are no takers, I'll probably refurbish the Schwinn and put it back on the road myself.
