‘Magic Carpet’ CYCLING WITH RALEIGH
THE ALL-STEEL BICYCLE
DURING 1958
THE RALEIGH, NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND
[Front cover, a color illustration of a young man and a young woman riding side by side along a rolling country lane. The road under their wheels turns into a crimson carpet that unrolls into the distance across green fields. Both machines carry saddlebags. The heron head badge sits at lower left.]

RALEIGH QUALITY, DESIGN AND FINISH
DUNLOP TYRES. Are fitted to all Raleigh bicycles, most models also having the Dunlop ‘Airseal’ inner tube which reduces inflating operations to an absolute minimum and ‘Easypump’ valve permitting pressure checking.
BROOKS’ SADDLES. Best Butt Leather or Spring Seat saddles, with chromium plated undercarriage, offer a choice to provide maximum comfort and reliability.
RENOLD ‘ELITE’ CHAIN. The fitting of this well-known chain ensures troublefree transmission.
RALEIGH ENAMELLING AND NICKEL CHROMIUM PLATING. Finest possible enamel is applied scientifically over a Spra-Bonderized rustproof surface, resulting in a high degree of gloss and durability. Maximum deposits of nickel and chromium on scrupulously clean surfaces, provide chromium plating which is unsurpassed, completing the renowned super-brilliant Raleigh Finish.
RALEIGH HOODED LEVERS. Fitted to all models with our calliper brakes, comfortable to operate due to absence of external bolt heads or nuts.
RALEIGH BELL CRANK. Careful design, combined with extreme neatness, provide a smooth and very efficient rear centre pull roller lever brake.
RALEIGH TUBULAR FORK CROWN. Raleigh bicycles have always been easily recognizable, quite apart from other outstanding features, by their handsome and extremely strong tubular fork crown and thimbles.
RALEIGH SEAMLESS BOTTOM BRACKET. A circular flat disc of finest quality steel is scientifically manipulated by powerful presses, involving over 30 operations with frequent normalizing treatment to remove stresses set up, into an immensely strong bottom bracket without a join of any description.
RALEIGH PEAK HEAD. An example of the care and thought in providing that little extra item which makes the Raleigh Finish so distinguished.
RALEIGH PATENT ANTI-VIBRATION PLATES. These enable full advantage to be taken of the powerful front brake, at the same time ensuring smooth and ultra-safe braking.

Features that make the Raleigh Superbe so perfectly named
1 RALEIGH COMBINED REAR LAMP AND REFLECTOR. This neat combination, securely housed in a specially moulded rubber body, is fitted as standard to all Raleigh ‘Superbe’ models.
2 RALEIGH PATENT THIEF-PROOF LOCK. Neat and efficient, standardized on many models. It provides three locking positions in all of which the cycle is unrideable. The key should always be withdrawn before riding.
3 LIGHT ALLOY PROP-STAND. Instantly and easily operated with the foot, it will appeal to riders who frequently have to park their bicycle. Folds unobtrusively away when not in use.
4 F.G. HUB. This Sturmey-Archer 4-speed gear, combined with frictionless and troublefree ‘Dynohub’ hub lighting, fitted exclusively to ‘Superbes’, gives easy cycling day and night.
LUCAS BELL. This well-known quality bell is standard equipment on all ‘Superbe’ bicycles.
A REVELATION IN CYCLE LIGHTING, UNIQUE : SIMPLE : TROUBLEFREE
Standard equipment on all ‘Superbes’, incorporating the following striking advantages:
With the headlamp switch in the ‘on’ position, light is given at all times, whether the machine is stationary or in motion.
Whilst stationary and at very slow speeds, three standard dry battery LEAK-PROOF cells provide the light. As speed increases the Filter Switch automatically cuts out the batteries and changes over to the ‘Dynohub’. This procedure is reversed as speed decreases.
The Filter Switch is foolproof, having no moving parts and requiring no service.
Keeps usage of battery current to a minimum at slow speed and this ensures long battery life.
When batteries are exhausted they should be removed. The set will operate as a direct lighting unit until new ones are fitted.
