Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Of course golf courses are the greenest. Running is probably the best way to exercise up and down staircases with ankle weights if you can find some good heavy ones, it really helps keep your entire legs in tip top shape for everything. Thanks, friend.

OH my God, so true. And strapping bottles of Round Up to a waist belt as you go up and down flights of stairs with ankle weights then go out to your green, green lawn and SPRAY Round Up on everything is not only Cornell University certified clean and green but it will make you stronger against ticks and weeds!And it will help you heal faster, so much faster from severe injuries from peddling your bicycle. Plus diesel extra long cabin is best way to offset pollution of riding a bike. Think of all that energy wasted in making bike frames! And spokes, Lordy, spokes are energy hogs!

The vast majority of the gear on it is run of the mill. The only thing going for it is frameset.

That saddle is not worth $60 used. The rolls is the least popular of the heritage italian saddles.


Vintage 80's Schwinn Madisons are actually very common.
Kid you not, I've actually seen more vintage ones in the wild than new.

At the end of the day, just ride it.
Sounds about right in a way, my local CL used to have so many nice bikes you could get for a pretty good deal. Now there's probably a few nice ones every time I look if I'm lucky and 1/3rd the volume in general in terms of used bikes.

I will answer because I am a nice guy and figure why the heck not.
The bike might be worth it to you, some of the parts are decent enough. However the bars are untapped and that is a turn off for me generally unless they are some really interesting bars (you know maybe polished or painted or something like that). I am not as knowledgeable about Raleigh, I know they have a few new bikes that are decent and some really really old bikes that are cool but a middle period of crap (or at least what I see).
