All original components except the saddle which was a cyclpro with spring suspension. Side Rivets rusted and the springs were painted silver. Very little rust: the chrome is almost completely rubbed off the brake levers. The brake rod beneath the downtube is rusted through the chrome finish. The Sturmey Archer rear hub has AW 77 4 Stamped into it. Original Raleigh Roadster Tires. This bike has been well loved. It can be identified more by what it doesn have: very few scratches to the frame. No missing decal pieces.. Parts all working having had regualar maintenance: shifts and brakes flawlessly. Best cruiser ever.
