When I got it, he had put a big old walmart gel seat on it, had the shifters moved up to the stem, (didn't have orig. ) and had the handlebar stem up so high it was almost falling out !

I got the brooks , found the closest correct shifters I could find and moved back to original location. They are Suntour 'power shift' , not sure what year thoese were made, but work well. And dropped the bars back in a bit. Rides well. After riding the Raleigh Sports for awhile, I feel like im on a rocket when I get on this :lol: I had a early 80s Super Mirrage that I bought new , but sold it like a dummy for next to nuttin' a few years back. Was glad to get this bike, even the same color

That Moto was gorgeous.

Another 50+er that likes to ride fast?? :)

Nice ride. Fast color.

OldsCOOL 03-11-15 03:35 AM

Yeah, I've posted it before but I just have to say that the first ride of the spring is like being 10yrs old and having a new bike.

Yesterday I conquered the 1.5mi Cat 4 a few blocks away. Didnt expect to do it but there it was.

My CRITter rocked....

Thanks. I am kinda fond of the red also. I have got some goals and I think this bike will get me there. It is a different animal than the mountain bike I have been riding. :)
