Great stuff!

There's a similar thread in the commuting section. It's been going for years. There's a deep beauty about the functionality of these bikes.

The one I've been riding the most over the last few years is my Raleigh Super Course. I got it out of the garbage. Some things had been changed already, and I changed the rest. It's also my test-bed bike, so I make changes to it frequently. I might make it a fixie this winter, but time is running out.

When I built it up, I thought it would ride OK. But it didn't. It rides GREAT! It's so nice that I often take it on long-ish, fun rides.

Here it is, in its current state. The entire photo log is here.



Those are not wheel reflectors. They are lights. They flash blue and red, alternately, when activated by motion and darkness. The bike has to be moving, and it has to be dark for them to flash.
