1979 Raleigh Royal Roadster. My first Ebay success a five years ago for £21. It's pretty mint and complete except for a period pump. Can any of you help me find out what pump it may have come with?
I've been researching this model of roadster on the net. Sadly the National Cycle Museum has no mention of the model in it's available archive catalogues. Interestingly I find that the older models had full chain cases and rod brakes. My 79 model has levers but has the holes in the frame where the rod brakes would have been fitted. I can't find a picture of another like this on the net; the others have rods. Any thoughts or experience much appreciated.
