YES!!!!!
Here she is. Right next to my bed (lower left) and dresser, right where she belongs. My wife sleeps on the other side. http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...e/PA270001.jpg Thanks, Tom. You totally made my day. Maybe later on I'll even try to find a good background and turn the bike around. Not going to flip the stem though. |
My '77 Super Course. My sweet daily commuter and she is huge! I am 6'4" and can just can stand over her.

'80 Super Course 12

OK, are all of the Raleigh super tall frames????
Those all look great for me. |
Raleigh made frames, (For a lot of years) In 21.5" 23.5" and 25.5" I think your average American male would have been better served with a 22.5" or 23" even frame. But you take what you can get.
Both mine are 23.5", fit great in the top tube length, but are a little tall in the standover. Oddly enough, I have very little standover clearence, but my seatposts are set at the right spot. You'd think they should be lower. go figure. |
My wife's Raleigh Route 66. She's since swapped the seat for a Specialized Jett:

My Mojave after a few modest upgrades:
