The Raleigh - Lenton Sports(man)? Bike

[copperbeech5]

Hi Ray,

Thanks so much for your interest in my query and welcome of course to Rootschat!

When I started this query I was trying to help out my uncle who has since sadly died.  I will have a word with his son as soon as I get the chance, and see if he can refresh my memory on the topic - I think my uncle was interested to know if Reg Harris had donated a bike to the Nottingham museum - but I so appreciate you interest - and I will hopefully get back to you in due course!

Kind regards,

I met a chap today who said his friend bought one of Reg's bikes from the museum for £1500. He remarked how heavy it was.

Came across this forum after doing some web research.
