Identify these bikes! / Re: Barn find Raleigh

Is that a Horex behind it?

Yes it is an Horex.

That is a nice project.
Give it a good wipeover, clean, and wax and polish, you may be surprised at how well it will come up.
Original paint and finish bikes are highly prized these days.
If that were mine, I wouldn't alter anything.
It will get a lot of attention.
They are only original ONCE !



I have to admit, I didn't have originality so much on my mind, but now realise its importance.

That's the way to find them!
Pretty much complete and un-fannied around with. New tyres etc, rebuild the mag and off you go. Very Nice.

Thanks, I was worried it would take a lifetime to fix it up, maybe it wont be that bad.

Hi,
It would be worth your while to get in touch with the Raleigh owners club

Yes, this seems a good place to source parts etc. Thank you!

Identify these bikes! / Barn find Raleigh

Well not really a find, my dad got it as a project in the 70's, but newer had the time as being a busy entrepreneur. Now I'm thinking of taking the family burden onto my shoulders, before my mum decides to get rid of it. So it would be nice to get some info if parts can be found etc. Dad can't help anymore because of dementia.

I think it is some 1920's Raleigh model of what I have found on google. Missing some parts, but not that much.

Here is pics, sorry I wasn't smart enough to find the serial of the frame or engine.
