Vintage RALEIGH “Sprite”
Five speeds and a “Towny” riding position make this Vintage RALEIGH “Sprite” a great ride. 27 Inch wheels and a lightweight lugged English made frame help give it the ability to maintain a fast tempo on the road. Gullwing style bars and a vinyl Brooks springer saddle add to the comfort. A great bike but [...]
