This is the ‘73 Raleigh Competition seen
earlier in this thread, photographed Saturday morning when I finally got to really test the whole concept of the Dingle-Speed Drive. As always, the 70-in fixed gear provided by the 44x17 combo works nicely on the pavement. What I was unprepared for was just how perfect the 60-in fixed gear of the 42x19 was on the mixed gravel, hard pack and red clay mud of this area’s dirt roads. This bike exceeds all my expectations - it just rides so well on mixed and loose stuff!
