Cincinnati Vintage Raleigh Greetings
Hi! I'm pretty new here and am very happy to own vintage Raleigh bikes....a Raleigh Twenty that looks like this
https://margyartgrrl.bo.lt/raleigh_twenty
and this (actual) red raleigh ladies sports
https://margyartgrrl.bo.lt/my_red_raleigh
Living in Cincinnati, I'm wondering about the best way to find a vintage raleigh 3 speed lover to help me make a few upgrades to the bikes. Please share your advice about how to do this. So far my search of the local bike stores has not uncovered any special expertise.
Loving the forum - you all helped me decide to get a second bike and I'm eagerly awaiting the Red Raleigh delivery.
BTW - Don't worry - I didn't pay anything close to the listed prices on these sweet bikes.

Welcome margyartgrrl.
Sorry but I had to delete your links. Here's why (from the FAQ).
Solicitation
Refrain from using BikeForums to advertise items for sale, commercial services or website. You may attach a short link to your own blog or personal site within your profile or signature, linking to your market items in our market, or to a commercial website that you specifically own.

Ron H - I am seriously confused. I was not soliciting anything. I posted pictures of my bikes. Your policy seems very uneven and it's truly upsetting to me to be accused of trying to advertise. Please write to me privately at margyartgrrl [at] gmail.com to explain because I really don't get it. Couldn't you see that I was just showing my bikes as part of my introduction?

Sorry. My bad. I just woke up when I read your post and thought you were selling or advertising the bikes.
Please feel free to re-post the links.
I guess I'll have to ride an extra 10 miles today as my penance.

Thanks. I feel better now. I may have to go ride a bike to celebrate.
