Some classics are not necessarily lightweights.
Here's my submission for the last of the traditional, quality, ridden every day 3 speeds:
Raleigh Esquire, 1980, 3sp dynohub, almost immaculate, easy rider Brooks saddle, a versatile everyday rider. Its speed and agility, when you choose to use it, surprises many of the lycra brigade

Chrome and paint is 98%, but the rear rack dates from the 50s!
Currently has a contemporary Elan alloy.
These machines will last for ever with a little care and attention, but most of all they are a trip back in time to a more sedate era.
