This thing is cool! I can't remember where I found it, but I though it was worth keeping. The best I can figure is that it is from the 1930's - 1940's. There was a smaller version made called the Deluxe Sparklet, but this one is cooler. Navy blue in color with white stripes, and a white top. It is a little dusty (antique!), but it seems to hold pressure. Included with this is a box of 10 unused Sparklets Bulbs ("The Bulb with the Red Band"). As far as I can tell, you could take this home and make some of your own homemade soda! Awesome! No dents, but there are a few very minor scratches, and a few scuffs on the top. It also includes the original box, in the condition that I found it. I think this would make an awesome home decor piece if nothing else. I am accepting reasonable offers on this item.
I have moved to the Portland, Oregon, area and no longer have any of the stuff on this website in my possession. I'll update again, once I have some stuff for sale. Thanks!

1974 Raleigh Grand Prix -- SOLD

Up for sale is a vintage 1974 Raleigh Grand Prix 10 speed bike. This bike was made in Nottingham, England, in 1974. The serial number is: NA4213512. I have seen bikes like this one go for sale for $300 and up! So, this is a steal! Mine is all in one piece! The tires are old, but hold air and still in fairly new condition (the tires still have some of those knobby things). The frame is 25.5 in/65 cm--a larger frame. I'm 5'10" and it's a little big. Like any older bike, there is plenty of wear on the paint. Chain-slap, knicks, dings etc. But the bike is structurally solid--all the wear is cosmetic. It has the original Raleigh Nottingham England badge on the front. It has new handlebar tape, but it could be redone if you want a pro job. I have a lot more pictures available if you're interested.
With a good wipe-down, a little lube, and some interest this bike could be one sweet thing. Make it a fixie, single-speed, or keep it original--your choice! Call, e-mail, or text if you're interested. 2zero8-59zero-0zero74. I can deliver if you pay for round-trip gas (I have a small car). I am asking $100 obo--Reduced from $150 obo. I am willing to negotiate reasonably on the price. Enjoy!
