neal is also a hell of a nice guy from the dealings i've had with him here. (hopefully we'll meet for lunch someday neal, i get up your way once in a while. we can talk raleighs!)

here's my question for you neal- sorry if this is a hijack... but you've got all those old bikes, and then you buy a kogswell. why? the reason i ask is that there are days when i'd also like to have a kogswell or something similar to my raleigh sports- all three of them. the vintage rides can be great and i'd hate to get rid of any- but they can also require a bit more maintainance than a new bike. is the kogs that much better than the old raleighs? certainly they're lighter, but that's not much of an issue for me. i guess i'm asking for a good reason to buy another bike, and a new one at that. after all neal, you're my "go-to" guy when my partner tells me "no more bikes".
"but honey, look at this guy, he's got twice as many as me!"
