Which 80's frame? Raleigh Olympian or Panasonic Sport
I need to get rid of my other two fg's and I'm having trouble deciding which one to keep.
One is a Panasonic Sport, just like this one:

High ten steel, but I feel like I like the fit and don't feel as stretched out in this bike as my Motobecane Track.
Other option is a Raleigh Olympian. chrome moly, its mid 80s. Mine is black frame with red

Any input? I think its going to end up with the olympian on top

You gonna eat that?
Raleigh.
I had a chance to buy an Olympian and now I shoot myself that I didn't snag it. It was a good bike.

raleigh makes good bikes, panasonic makes nice tvs, they've made and continue to make some decent bikes but that doesn't really look like one of them, it's probably sturdy as all hell but the raleigh's a better bike
