Distinguishing features
Raleigh Sports Tourist w/ Loop Frame and Full Chaincase. I repainted the whole bike black w/ oil paint a few days before it was stolen. Both front and rear racks - dynamo light mounted to front rack, Front wheel is Sturmey Archer Drum brake w/ steel rim (original). Rear wheel is new Sturmey Archer Kick/shift 2 speed w/ coaster brake w/ Sun CR-18 aluminum rim. 26 x 1 3/8 size tires. Equiped with built-in dutch Ring Lock which was locked at the time it was stolen, immobilizing rear wheel. I still have the key to the ring lock. Locked w/ Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboutit Mini Bicycle U-Lock (thickets lock on the market) - could still be hanging on the bike because the bike was lifted off the top of a street sign, by unbolting the sign at the top of the pole. This bike was purchased in Holland in the 1950's, so it's the dutch version. A friend flew it over here on an airplane.
