The bicycle has a few chips and scratches in paint, and is in good condition for year that is was manufactured. The chainring even has the shape of the Raleigh heron!įrom the Raleigh catalog: "Designed as a convenient adjust to modern living, the new Raleigh RSW-16 provides a perfect form of transport for easy commuting, shopping, and moving quickly through traffic, 3-speed Sturmey Archer gear with twist-grip control, wide profile tires to cushion bumps, quick-release lever-adjusting saddle and control bar stems to fit any height, wrapover mudguards, fully sprung saddle with thick foam overlay and large capacity detachable carrier bag." The 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub works, and the shifter is built into the right grip. It appears to be all original, though it is missing the brake grips and tartan bag that it originally came with. This rare, 1966 classic Raleigh RSW (Really Small Wheels) 16 would make a great restoration project, or with a little love, a nice rider.
