Kijiji Listings
A couple of interesting bikes on Kijiji, Toronto this morning.
A mid 60’s Raleigh Sports @ $190.00 with a somewhat cumbersome “Sportshift”.
And a good lookin’ mid 70’s Raleigh Tourist @ $250.00.
Expensive But Interesting
Another Kijiji posting in Toronto. A vintage Ladies DL-1 Tourist from the late 1930’s.
Seller is asking a hefty $1300.00 but given the age, condition and overall completeness the price may not be that out of line.

Raleigh Ad 1951
This Raleigh Sports Tourist priced at $63.75 in 1951 would still cost $560.00 in today’s money!
The illustrated bicycle above, shows the Dynohub mounted on the left side. This page from the catalogue shows it on the right.
I believe the right side is correct.

1977 Raleigh Tourist and A Mystery Bicycle
Blog subscriber Chris has sent me some photos of a couple of his vintage bicycles.
“Here’s my 1977 Tourist. I’ve had this bike for two years now, and just love riding on those big 28” wheels! I would like it if I had a full chaincase, but you know, its a great looking bike as is. The rod brakes are a bit sketchy, but they sure are cool. Before this, I had a Sprite five speed, that was a great bike. But when this showed up locally for sale, I couldn’t help myself. I still have the Sprite, though it does duty as a Moped now, as I fitted a Chinese engine kit to it.”
I agree that the rod brakes are a little sketchy but hopefully you’re just cruising along on a bike like this..
The second bike below.
“Now here, is the Mystery~Bike! Enjoying as I do my bicycle rides, I figured I’d get my girlfriend a great old bike too. I found this locally, and snatched it up for $75. Around here, a Sprite 5 speed goes for $250. (We have a plethora of Hipsters out here in Victoria) 28” wheels!! Replacement bars I’m sure, and a sloppy flat black paint job. But I have to say, I think it’s just beautiful!
The plan here is to to take the bike apart, clean and polish everything, Paint and stripe it, and then ride the tyres off of it!! The cream 28” tyres and black handgrips are here already, and now that I have taken the photos, I’d better get busy getting the bike ready to ride. I will be making a chain guard for it, or if I get really rippy, perhaps a chain case. “
There is nickle/chrome on the fork, as you can see. And a H.R. Perry front hub, with oil cup.
Mystery chain ring! A mystery to me anyway. The pedals are not marked either.
Anyone have a suggestion?
