Hello from a noob
Wanted to share my new bike and tell every one what a nice and very helpfull forum this is. I just got this 1974 Raleigh Sport over the weekend at a flea market for 20 bux. From the same place I grabbed some cheap tubes and tires to get it rolling, took it home quickly cleaned and lubed everything and rode it around my neighborhood. Everything seems unmolested on it and minimal rust, I had to remove the seat and threw on one from a mountain bike, the original Brooks was in 2 pieces and I dont think repairable. I also flipped the bars to make it a little more comfortable for me. I am replacing the chain later this evening and probably clean on it some more but just rode it for 3 miles to store and back, was so excited I wanted to take pics when I got home.
