My wife has a 75 Raleigh Sprite which I was not allowed to touch. Instead when we rode (which I hated) I used her Mongoose which was like running in sand. Then one day 2 years ago I decided to take her Raleigh out for a quick turn whilst she was shopping. It was marvelous! coast forever, little pedaling effort, great ride. I bought a 1978 Grand Prix Raleigh immediately and I love cycling now, so yes the older road bikes are worth it.
