I’ve built this from a bare frame with parts from ebay. It’s been a project that is 7 years in the making. It’s surprising what you can find if you’re patient.
I thought Raleigh bike’s embellishments were hand painted back then instead of transfer decals? Also usually the headbadge was on a metal plaque pop riveted to the frame? You seem to have a lot of old catalogs and definitely live in an area with more vintage Raleighs than the states, anyway, lots of cool parts on this bike.

How’s a 1934 bike ride? Handling?
I’ve always been so curious about bikes from pre-WWII, and there’s so much less info about them than more modern stuff.

I don’t think it’s quite that old
