I think my Rapheal is a Gitane contract build, from about '63. Rides real nice. The rear derailleur is a little wonky, rides with clatter in the lowest gear.

I have fun getting looks like, is that safe? I tell people it's been safe for 50+ years, will it be safe in 50 years? By that time I'll be long gone and I hope someone else will say, It's been safe for a hundred years...

My green one above is Flash tubing.
