Hello from Saint Paul, MN
I've searched for info and this site comes up a lot. Never knew the depth of the information that is available after joining.
I worked in a bike shop thirty years ago. After many years sitting behind a desk, biking only occasionally, I've found myself out of work, kids grown up, and with time to ride again. I've always had a fascination with Raleighs. I used to sell them.
I own a '63 Raleigh Sports, my significant other has a matching women's version. Also have a Raleigh Team Pro 531 racing frame built up with my old touring group comprised of Shimano 600 Arabesque/SR components. I've managed to whittle my addiction down to 2 bikes, one you have to change clothes to ride/one that is "sandal-friendly" for the quick trip to the grocery store.
Saint Paul/Minneapolis has one of the best trail systems in the country. I'll never see it all.
Love this forum. Thanks for the effort to keep it alive.

A Norwegian Twins fan? (It takes some stubborn determination to stick with them this year).
