...is your still rideable bike. I have a (completely original, tyres inc.) 1984/5 Raleigh Record Sprint - the one after the one with the gold-coloured brakes. Used it earlier this year and all was well. Have a BeOne Storm so baby semi-retired.
Visit Ireland - all of it! Cycle in Dublin and know fear!!

    I had a Peugeot just like that for commuting on, about a year ago. My dad picked it up from a car boot sale and called it the gas tube bike! Would never have thought about spending a lot of money doing it up like that!
