This 1986 Raleigh Sprite is my favourite (so far) for many reasons. It was the first vintage bike I played with and restored and for some reason it is a blast to ride. It has a simple 6 speed cassette and a single chainring.
The original owner (hence the name "Mel") is now 94 and doesnt ride any longer, but when he was shown this photo recently he commented he wanted
his bike back!
