I am about to tear into, what id consider a vintage bike. I hate supercycle...this is a supercycle, with a sturmey archer hub i want. The frame says "made in england", and it sports its sisters shoes; raleigh. I could get the serial if its neccesary, but im just wanting to know if im hurting a bike which has significance historically? I dont like supercycle cause i associate them with being a mass marketed production based heartless company who only cares about sales and not cycling. And in fact their production of bikes without innovation or care has only defaced what cycling can be. This said, there is a part i want on one of them...and i think sturmey archer is a noble company, well more so than supercycle. anyone want to shed some light on these dim opinions? am i defacing a lost purer ideology from a company now sold out? schwinn comes to mind.
