OK Time to mix it up slightly from all the nice roadbikes (and R-20). This Raleigh Space Rider was mine when I was a kid. My son discovered it in my parents' attic last summer. We stripped it down, repainted low budget rattle can style, dumped everything into oxalic acid, replaced all the consumables and rebuilt the rear hub (much to my surprise, it actually works). He kind of forgot about it during baseball season, but we spent a few evenings getting it put back together over the past week. A set of cork grips and better pedals are on the way, and it'll be 'done'.
