| Hi Sam, By the looks of the fork tops it could be something from the Phillips family. Matthew - musing. by: 62.253.96.42 |

| Keep up the good work Kurt. Very snazzy website, more power to your elbow! (or mouse or server or gadget). Matthew - dot com - post. by: 82.3.70.87 |
| Some of you may recall this bicycle from a few months back. Sold on eBay for $300+, if I recall, and the new owner attempted to sell it for $600 on Craigslist: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1967-Raleigh-Sports-Mens-Bicycle-England-Bike_W0QQitemZ7235983140QQcategoryZ42314QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Curious starting price. Someone ought to flat-out ask him what his reserve is (Probably $600...). -Kurt by: 64.12.117.7 |
| Well... it's a VERY clean example of a 39 year old machine.... be it cleaned up or not. Still... yes... all too familiar. Actually... if you look at his location, "Berzerkely", California... that might just be a clue, eh? Cheers! Larry "Boneman" Bone by: 69.39.170.173 |
| Clean, shmhean, it ain't worth $600 bucks. There are comperable Sports out there for far less. The only reason this bike previously sold well was via those whitewalls to a slew of know-nothing bidders. -Kurt by: 205.188.117.71 |
| I would agree as to not being worth $600 for sure. However.... sometimes a things "value" and what someone is willing to pay for it can be two completely different things. ;-) Cheers! Larry "Boneman" Bone by: 69.39.170.146 |
| "However.... sometimes a things "value" and what someone is willing to pay for it can be two completely different things." That can also be said: "The value of an object may be slim to nil, but an fool might part with his money for it." -Kurt by: 152.163.100.136 |
| This side of the pond it would probably not fetch the equivalent of $300 and with certainty would not escalate to $600. That sort of price would be something far more desirable, a Sunbeam perhaps? Or a Warwick Ice cream tricycle (in need or restoration). What a difference and ocean makes, Matthew - bicycles get the world around. by: 82.3.81.48 |
| Aren't the fabled "R" nuts anachronistic? I thought they first showed up in the 70s, not 60s. by: 65.78.2.207 |
| That is correct. It's been overly dressed-up. -Kurt by: 152.163.100.136 |
| I ran across Co. Albert Pope on the internet. Read it for yourself. Very good article http://www.hogriver.org/issuesv02n03/miracle.htm by: 68.41.206.53 |
| Hope you didn't hurt the Colonel when you ran over him? Sorry, only joking, I couldn't make the link work when I tried. Please explain who Albert was? Matthew - who? by: 82.2.88.28 |

| Yes very pretty. Do you remember the early eighties song by 'Bow wow wow'? 'I want candy!' Matthew - trying not to drool. by: 62.252.0.6 |
