This vintage child’s bicycle is identified as a Raleigh Bobcat, manufactured in England. The bicycle is constructed with a red-painted tubular steel frame. It is fitted with white synthetic components, including a moulded saddle, textured handlebar grips, and solid white plastic wheels with integrated tyres. The drivetrain consists of a single-speed chain-driven mechanism protected by a red metal chain guard. Braking is provided by a front-wheel caliper brake operated via a handlebar lever. The bicycle is equipped with front and rear red metal mudguards and a chrome-plated bell on the handlebars. Several original decals are present: the seat tube features the Raleigh name above a Union Jack and Made in England text; the top tube displays the Bobcat model name; the head tube bears the Raleigh heron logo; and a retailer decal on the frame identifies the supplier as Devon Cycles Plymouth.
Condition report:
The item is in used vintage condition. The red paintwork exhibits scattered chips, scratches, and surface oxidation, most notably around the welded joints. Significant surface rust is present on the drive chain, sprockets, and the chrome-plated bell. While the bicycle appears structurally complete, the mechanical components will require cleaning and servicing for smooth operation. No original packaging is present.
