Can't believe I missed this thread....Thanks to Doohickie for pointing it out in another thread.

Mine was picked up late last summer. Here's the thread when I got my $20 Raleigh Marathon. She was all original and in great shape; a victim of garage rafters

She's now slightly modernized; 2x8 RSX group with 105 crank. Relaced the rear wheel to a sealed bearing 130mm hub that actually spins nicely. Every original part has been carefully stored so I can take it back to original in just a couple hours. I don't know if I'd ever need/want to, but I can.

Bike gets ridden as much as possible. Have a goal of 1500 miles before July 4th this year, and I'm well on my way even given the crappy weather we've had so far this spring. A really great bike to ride and I just love it - especially given the very few $ I have sunk into it.

Last pic I took of it; was before relacing the rear wheel(this was with a 7spd freewheel on it).
