30 here.

I got into bikes 4 years ago, started by rebuilding my dad's late 70s Raleigh Grand Prix and having a lot of fun wrenching on it and riding it.

Since then, I've added a "modern"...

Oh I'll definitely buy stuff that isn't the right size if it's something I'm looking for and the price is right. I wanted an Ironman, and one came up in Miami Vice colors for $100, so I had to have...

Wow $10 is a great find and the paint looks great. I love mixtes with the brake on the "top tube". The wife's Peugeot mixte has a side pull brake on the seat stay and there's no way to get the cable...

I had Suntour Powershifters on a later '70s Raleigh and have fully taken them apart. I assume yours are similar. They ratchet only in one direction because you pull against the derailleur return...

Wow the paint is in good shape, great buy.
