I put this in the craigslist listing thread, but thought that this was actually a better place to post. Not too many (if any) 3 speed posts in there, besides this one.

Did it go back together properly? It sounds as if it did, but just checking.

I have the same rims because I actually like to stop when I squeeze the brake levers. I also added a Tektro R559 to the...

If anyone is looking for a matched pair, we just don't have the room for them, but I'm willing to take a look for you if really interested. If $200 for both bikes, it's not a bad deal at all. Also...

Pretty much true here. We turned a $60 craigslist find (great shape) into a $200+ daily commuter for my DW. That's not including baskets, lights and other accessories. New rims ( professionally...

Level 2:...

My bike is the men's version of yours. Same paint. Agree with you on the gum walls on that bike. Mine came with gum walls, replaced them with black / reflective stripe. Much cleaner look.

The AL rims are a must if you ever want these bikes to stop. The chrome wheels are pretty, but slippery. Also, a new Teckro 559 on the front at least. These were part of my $250 base price.

Full disclosure: The $250 number was to get the bike operational to an acceptable state. I have spent more than that on the bike, but it is money that I would have spent on any bicycle that I...

I have had an 1980 Raleigh Sports that is used as a secondary bike for about a year. This is hardly the epitome of British craftmanship by this era. The tool dies were old, labor problems, etc....

I guess I could get Kool Stops for the Tekro R559's, but I can't use the Continental style I took off with the old calipers. The new brake pads with the R559's seems very good enough for now, and I...

We've been talking about braking recently here, in fact I am one of the instigators of that. I am an absolute newcomer (6 or 8 months) to this idea of English 3 speeds and I only have 2. So take...

Raleigh Sports in the '70's had the heron crank, but an older one or one from a different marque would certainly been acceptable replacement. As long as it is 46t with a 9.5 mm cotter, it would...
