Raleigh Sprites make really nice utility bikes if built with a 3 speed hub. They seem to have lighter tubing,more agile geometry, alloy rimmed 700C wheels, full coverage fenders and proper Weinmann alloy brakes of varying kinds. I built one for my son years ago and to show how admired and good it was, it was promptly stolen about 3 weeks later. As far as the Superbe goes, you were probably suffering from disorientation brought on by the blizzard.
