The Raleigh Record

For most of the '60s and the Bike Boom '70s, the Record was the bottom of Raleigh's drop-bar line. The frame is basically the same as the Sports three speed. It competed with the Schwinn Varsity and later many low-end French models.

It was pretty much all steel, except for the brakes.
