Re: Blink's Raleigh - Reconfigured to commute! Nice. Why not try an internal hub?

This place has two of them. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Raleigh-Chopper ... 634.c0.m14

I just looked up the date code on this bike. I thought it was a '73 or '74. It was actually made in July 1970.

Yes. I just rebuilt my wife's bike last year. I think it cost about $250 in '93 when I bought it new. The rebuild was close to $900. But, it has a lot of sentimental value. Same with my Schwinn Montague. I have rebuilt it three times, and I guess it probably has had at least $2500 into it. But I...

Very nice bike.

Here's an...er...alternative take:

Dunno, but they have a big price. :D

That's in pretty good shape. Nice color.

Very cool. Dig the bars.

Here's a nice bike license on e-bay. Would be great for a rat rod. http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-biclyce-whe ... 240%3A1318

Dunno. But here's Sheldon on sizes: http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html
