I am a roadster guy.

Here is my Schwinn Continental roadster. It was a terrific experience to tear down the bike and rebuild it in my vision. This bike actually garners the most attention -- possibly because the chrome is in outstanding condition and there's so much of it -- or because everyone had a Schwinn of one sort or anther. I liken it to a 'Cadillac Eldorado'... heavy metal.



My Raleigh Sport -- which I keep at the office -- seems like an utter light-weight in comparison. In the case of the Raleigh, the weight and construction make for a really terrific ride... it's hard to pin-point what it is about that's so wonderful, but it's just very sweet. This is my "MGB."





I have also a 77 Nishiki International set up as a roadster and it has become more of my daily driver... it was cheap, light and it handles everything I throw it's way. We do a kind of trail riding every week, I've got this set up with wider tires, and it's very, very capable. A bit nervous in character compared to either of my other roadsters. The RX7 of the bunch?
