A beautiful, rebuilt 1957 Raleigh Lenton Gran Prix Bicycle. A racer for the ages (Reg Harris made it famous in the late 1950s as his racing steed), it is also a nice tourer and is set up that way now.

All parts cleaned and/or rebuilt. It is an amazing bike. Vintage Brooks saddle for crying out loud!!
Google John Lennon and Lenton-you’ll find a fun story about this very cool bicycle.

Lots of chrome, history, panache…
Also a Lucas lamp and generator set (attached).
And lots of extra parts, including drop handlebars and Weinmann brake levers.

Come see it. She is very pretty. An awesome piece of cycling history.
