Raleigh D1, 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 D-1 in the U.S.)
