Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

I'm in! This one rides in the back of my work truck. Depending on the situation it is either my dingy or my life boat 1972 Raleigh Sports Standard that I purchased for $25 in 1981 as a last ditch transportation alternative. It has seen over 32,000 miles of regular commuting/car free living for me and my brother. It was just revived from a 10 year storage hiatus. New tires, a new rim strip, brake pads and light cleaning and it was ready to hit the road again.
