The coolest thing is it used to be the bike my brother rode to junior high and high school. It had some time off, but it's back to work getting me back to work. I'm glad we kept it around.
I love bicycles.
I still have access to my '79 or '80 model Raleigh bike (you can see it here:
My predicament)
I would love to get back riding it. To me, an older bike which shares a history with you is something special. You are a fortunate man. :-)
