BTW, turns out that the bike I picked up for "parts" last weekend isn't a Robin Hood; it's a BSA. Built by Raleigh, there are a lot of cheaper but not-at-all-bad parts on it.
I might still make it into a loaner [for short people as it has a 19.5 inch tube]. This bike spent at least part of its life in Boulder, CO. It's a 1970 model with a 1978 City of Boulder license decal on it.
Continues to amaze me how well these bikes are built and how uber-durable they are. I don't think this little lady has ever had a wrench on her other than having a tire changed! [back gumwall tire appears to be original!]
19.5" Seat tube isn't short! My bride uses a 17"...or smaller. That bike will fit people up to around 5'-8" or even a bit more. I am 6'-2" with long legs and arms and can ride a Raleigh with a 21" frame, admittedly I have an extended seat post and ta 25" would bit better...
