Pre-Free Spirit 1968 SEARS "10 SPEED".

Dare I say that it seems to ride perhaps more sprightly than my '73 Super Course, likely due to it's low-trail fork rake. Both have 71-degree HT angle, but the Raleigh has a steeper seat tube so this Sears gets the zero-offset post to get my weight in a more-sporting position above the bottom bracket.
I've put about 4k miles on my Sears and Clubman bikes, both built at Styria.
