1980 Raleigh DL-1

(Click for full photo)

1980 Raleigh DL-1 Raleigh DL1, dated 1980 This bike was purchased as a gift for my Dad~s retirement in early 1982 after sitting on a shelf in the bike shop for several months. I personally removed the bike from the box and assembled it, so I know that the only things not original are my Dad~s initials on the top tube near the headset. It was the last Raleigh Tourist sold at that store. (And perhaps the last imported English DL-1 in the U.S.) Comments and questions welcome: Compotato
