" When I got home, I pulled this 19" DL 22  out of my van, aired the tires up and took er for a spin " As I thought ! " Yeah... this is a nice Gentalmens Roadster " 

Made in England - 1965 Raleigh DL 22 Sports   Before 

Like them all; After hours upon hours the finished product is always impressive. I say this about many of bikes, though this one has a special place. I'm not sure if it's the colour, the overall style, ride, and condition, or the year of this Raleigh 1965, but it's got a grip on me.

This bike is in Excelent condition. It rides and runs very well. Upon rebuild I found the wear to be little. I would imagine this bike was all stock when I got it. I had to replace the tires using older to the era IRC tires. The tubes are steel valved and they hold air fine so I have reused them. I reversed the handle bars on this bike, they can be put back to regular fit.
