## Description

Genuine 1960 Raleigh Sports 3-Speed – Classic Nottingham Steel Project (Original Brooks Saddle)
 for sale is a wonderful piece of British cycling history: a genuine 1960 Raleigh Sports roadster, manufactured right in the iconic Nottingham factory. The frame serial number ends in the coveted "P" suffix, officially dating the chassis to 1960–1961.
This bike represents the golden era of Raleigh craftsmanship—built like a tank and designed to last a lifetime.
Why this bike is special:
• Authentic 1960 Heritage: Features the elegant, classic green geometry, original matching white mudguards, and the iconic front hub.
• Original Brooks Leather Saddle: Includes the highly desirable, vintage Brooks saddle that gives these bikes their unmistakable retro aesthetic.
• Upgraded 1983 Sturmey-Archer Rear Hub: The rear wheel core was updated in 1983, meaning it benefits from a slightly younger, reliable, and easily serviceable 3-speed internal gear mechanism.
• The Perfect "Patina" Project: It has been tucked away in storage, so it shows a beautiful, honest coat of surface rust and grime. It is the perfect candidate for a satisfying winter restoration or a stylish, high-character "pub bike" commuter as-is.
Condition: Sold as a project bike in unrestored, as-is condition. Pick up a true British classic and bring it back to life!
Delivery: Collection only.

This bike was my grandfathers. He was an engineer and involved in Bletchley code breaking during the war. He was meticulous at looking after things and cherished this bike. It has been stored indoors for the last few years but we don’t have the know-how to restore it. Would love it to go to a good home and get out on the road again. It would make my grandfather very happy.
