I had a maroon Raleigh Sprite- I replaced a lot of the heavy steel parts with aluminum. I agree with [MENTION=207730]3speedslow[/MENTION]- a "stately ride." I had trouble with the cottered cranks and a bent steel chainring.

I can only imagine the positive improvement with the internal hub...

Congratulations and enjoy!
