I loved this Raleigh Sports for commuting and recreational riding from 1972 - 1997; gave it to my older daughter who used it while attending University in Freiberg and left it at the Hauptbahnhof upon her departure from Germany in 2002. Three speed S-A IGH with coaster brake and front handbrake.
I love this Calvin bike that I now use for winter and wet weather riding, formerly my daughter's (sitting in bike carrier above). Three speed Sachs Torpedo IGH with coaster brake and front handbrake.
