1973-74 Sports:




Pretty original, just missing its chainguard. And Brooks, but it seems like the mattress saddles were also an option. No matter, it's getting the Antique Brown B17 off of the GT Karakoram, which I'm going to sell off. (Hopefully I can recover the $120 I spent on the Raleigh.)

The paint is all there, and no rust, but it's definitely got some wear. I'd call it about a 7-footer:




I'm pretty sure it got ridden...


I replaced them with the pads from one of the Weinmanns (Weinmen?) I took of the '71 Competition. Kool Stop Continentals will be forthcoming. As will a new shift cable. And I might try routing it up top... I'm not sure if that matters.

Still sorting the shifting... it's my first IGH, and they're weird. It's looking to be a fun bike to work on, and to ride. (Once I put a 22t on it... 46x18 is ridiculous.)
