I have a '64 Raleigh with the same hub, horizontal top tube. These bikes with the north road handlebars are great to ride. I've been through and ridden around 15 different bikes. These types are my favourite. They aren't 'performance' bikes but they sure are fun to ride whilst watching the world go by. It's that upright position. The Raleigh 'Huffy Sportsman' will last many more decades.

Yeah, my wife loves the bike and refuses to replace it with a modern, lighter, faster bike.
how can you work in gloves that thick?
Practice, but they’re not that thick, and I didn’t wear them while packing the bearings.
