Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

My first transcontinental tour in 1977 was on a low end Motobecane. I had a nice semi-custom built Bob Jackson Super Tourist that got stolen 3 weeks before we were supposed to leave. I had to make the choice of either replace the Bob Jackson and not have money for the tour, or do the tour. I did the tour and enjoyed it, still have the Moby.
