The New RALEIGH RECORD ACE
(R.R.A. Model 26)

INDIVIDUALLY PRODUCED AND ASSEMBLED. A product embodying the combined experience and advice of Club and Track Men, in collaboration with the “quality-conscious” Technicians of the Raleigh Organisation, whose unequalled skill and craftsmanship have produced a mount incorporating all the needs of the most critical Rider. It will be obvious from an examination of the specification that the requirements of every keen Clubman have been appreciated and embodied. Apart from the Frame, the angles of which are the result of exhaustive research and experiment, each machine is made to individual taste in respect of components and finish. Although the price is high, it should be realised that no expense has been spared in fitting all the very latest components made from the most expensive light alloys available today. We are satisfied that in the R.R.A. we are offering a Speedman’s mount which is without equal in the industry.

A blue Record Ace lightweight is painted in profile against a village scene: a broad oak, a white cottage with a red roof, two cyclists in the middle distance and a couple standing with a bicycle at the right. The machine carries a brown leather saddle, dropped bars with taped tops, chromed half-mudguards and a five-arm chainset.]
