Thanks, and you may: the frame is a 1971 Raleigh International. Last winter I reconfigured it to be a lightweight version of a Raleigh 3-speed I'd been commuting on. It runs an 8-speed Sturmey Archer hub, Sanyo dynamo front hub with B&M lights, Mafac Racers, 700c x 35s, North Road bars, a Brooks B66 and fenders. It's a lot of fun to ride around town, loaded and unloaded.
