  1. This is super! I'm trying to fix up my '67 Raleigh 5 speed. It seems to have been modified in the rear hub area. It looks just like this one but it says it is a sport. Is there some place I can ask for advice? I'm not sure the local bike shop is really very knowledgeable on this rare bike.

  2. Your Sport almost certainly came with a 3-speed internal gear hub made by Sturmy-Archer. Google Sheldon Brown Bicycle and look for Raleigh. Have fun - they're great bikes!
