Also attached is my road bike that I use for exercise and when I want to get somewhere a bit quicker. It is literally half as heavy as my Raleigh, and even older. It's an 85 Maruishi. I just seem to like older bikes I guess.



Wow... those are some great looking bikes! They still look brand new. I have a Raleigh of similar vintage, but it's not nearly in as good a shape as yours. Still a solid commuter, though.
