Bikes: specialized crossroads hybrid 2006 Raleigh Cadent 2 1971 Schwinn Varsity, 1972 Schwinn Continental, 1977 Schwinn Volare (frame)

I just love the look of that bike. Very old school looking but not funky old school. Good old school with a touch of moderness. FWIW I cut about 3 minutes off my normal commute this afternoon on my Raleigh compared to my Windsor, but the ride is not nearly as comfy as the Windsor but I was hittin some pretty good speeds without a lot of extra effort. I'm riding it again tomorrow since I haven't this was the first time this summer I had ridden this bike. It is fast and effortless to steer but more responsive which was a bit scary at first this morning.
