I've got my Trek 7.5FX, and my soon to come (next week) Trek 4300.

You know what I'd really like? A classic English. A Raleigh I suppose. Something with the Sturmey Archer 3 spd gizmo on the right hand throttle. I'd restore it to pristine new factory condition. I'd like that.

I'm not really familiar with older English bikes except Raleighs, does anyone else know a lot more about older English bikes or can point me to a few links? I've looked at a few.

Thanks!

You mean you don't know we have a C & V forum right here, with people dying to show off their Raleighs?

Ohhhhh! Thank You!!!

It's my favourite place (I know, I shouldn't say that, because I like C/A, but C & V is where I discovered true bike love :D ).
