While I like the idea of the Raleigh Tourist, I don't care much for the actual bikes. The little time I've spent on them has not impressed me, but while at the co-op today I inquired about this one and was told it had just arrived. No room for another bike, particularly one I don't especially want, but when the price for it was lower than the total for the used handlebar and front derailleur that I went to find, I decided I could not resist. And, like the guy at the counter said, "If you don't get it, who else do you think would even be interested?" The rims are rusty but it seems sound. Frame size 22", hub date is 80.
