We have some Raleigh Sports that are really nice for old vintage bikes. I have one that I totally LOVE It is a really smooth ride, however, when we bought it it was in such disrepair that it took a lot of effort to restore it to ridable condition.

I also have a Sears Roebuck that was made in Austria. It is also a very smooth ride. Both my bikes have fabulous front baskets for riding to the store and getting limited groceries.

We don't have any bikes with the rod brake system. Those are really hard to come by and around here they are pretty expensive. Good luck on your search.

We have both of the Raleigh's and Sears bikes for sale if you're interested PM me and I'll send you our email addy and then you could see some pics and get more info. Like I said they are very smooth and dependable rides.
