Passed the torch
The torch being my 1966 Raleigh Sports, mostly stock. I bought it about 10 years ago and have been commuting on it for the past 5. Over the winter I built a lightweight version on my 1971 International with an 8-speed Sturmey hub, North Road bars, fenders and racks. I’ve given the Sports to my son who lives in Brooklyn. He enjoys the vintage aesthetic and I hope he discovers the joy of cycling through it.
