Why from a Raleigh Sports and not any ol' bike?
Just a 3 speed? Why not a 7 or even 10?

Last time I was in Phoenix I couldn't find anything to rent but hybrids. I hate straight bars, I'd likely rather be on a tricycle.

...who starts the Sturmy Archer versus Rohloff, versus Sram, versus Nexus IGH thread here in road ? It will reauire keeping a straight face and an absolutely serious delivery, so I'm out.
I think it ought to include speculation on use with discs, and at a minimum, tubeless tyre options for the custom wheel build. Also, weight penalties ought to be covered.

40° rear hub laced to 28° rim leaves 6 holes to bolt a custom rotor to.

It's downstate for true upstaters, but upstate for New York City folk. LOL
It's actually considered midstate by many.

Many NYC folk consider it upstate once the scenery composition turns at least to a 75/25 greenery-to-concrete ratio. Many consider White Plains to be upstate.

My wife told me we were riding the tandem today, so we did a 35.5 mile round trip to lunch. Had a tenderloin a good 10" across - no pics, though.
Averaged 16.7 mph which isn't too bad for not having our tandem legs.

F-ing autocorrect. It's done that to me before. My dictionary doesn't like pics but is fine with pis. 
It could have been pies, you know.

Don't know if you're serious or not, this being the addiction thread and all, but the position on a tandem is different enough that different areas or portions of the leg muscles are being used. A tandem also is also sort of feels like riding a trainer or it does to me.
Recumbents are different, too. It takes 500-1,000 miles for the muscles to adapt to the different pedaling position. Tandems don't require that much adaptation for the muscles, but there is some.

For $53.00 you can't beat it, and that way you know what you have, just gonna keep it there.
Being 6'2", I need the 59 cm frame to be comfortable, that bike fits like a glove,
52/40 double Bio-Pace with a 14/28 six speed freewheel, comfy steel, and a San Marco saddle.

Casually Deliberate
Even though it means I will have to eat a lot more, I can foresee I will eventually be driven to commuting by bike. I'm sick and tired of rush hour and other motorists determining how fast I get to drive and I'm usually in a right pique by the time I arrive. I have flat out told my co-workers that if someday I don't show up but I haven't called in, it's because I've had an aneurysm or said screw it and am splitting on the exit for Seattle.

Nope, not a rental, I shipped my Shogun out there to ride when I go visit my daughter.

Well . . . that's considerably better than a left pique.
