I've been living in Texas since 1981, it's time for a change, I've found that I have more "stuff" than I care to move with.

I posted on the Dallas area Craig's List, my 1974 Raleigh 3 Speed Sports, so far, nobody is interested, are these not collectible bikes?

My new city is going to be Vancouver,Washington, next to Portland, what a great place for bicycling.

The NW is a great place once you acclimate. It's the one place I have lived that I realized I hadn't made the most of once I left.

Just looked at your CL post....$175 is mighty steep for a 3 speed even if it is Classic.
You might have better luck selling it in Vancouver or Portland.
In Immaculate shape, you may be able to squeeze $100 here in DFW.
Last one I had, I wound up giving to a coworker because I knew she'd use it.

Good luck with your move...It's beautiful up there.

heh Jtgyk,

Thanks, I can always take the Raleigh with me to Vancouver, it doesn't take up that much room. I just don't ride it much.... and I'm not going to miss this hot/muggy/sweaty days...... I rode the White Rock Creek Trail this morning and it was so muggy,so early....
