Hello everyone, this is an excellent forum. I'm new to riding and have an old 1986 Raleigh Grand Prix it's a 12 speed. I bought this bike years ago and never really rode it. The question I have is should I keep this bike and ride it as is, keep frame and change components or just buy a new road bike. I plan on doing distance riding. The reason I'm asking is I realize my bike is dated and don't know if the newer bike technology is that much of a difference. Most of my riding will be in the Bronx, NY. Thanking everyone in advance.
