Hello From Miami
I used to ride to uni on bike, still ride often for leisure. I consider myself a beginner when it comes to bike knowledge, but I'm hoping to learn more about bikes here. I ride an old nickel-plated hand-me-down Raleigh Suntour Superbe bike (haven't been able to identify it exactly) and have recently begun restoring it to as close to original as I can get it. It's a nice project to maintain a bike I've had a lot of experiences with while learning about all the various parts and mechanisms that go into a bike.

Welcome. Ask the people in Classic and Vintage about your bike. You’ll get lots of help.

Thank you all for the welcomes. I was planning on posting in the C&V section, but it looks like I don't have the minimum number of posts to do so.

You can post pics when you get to 10 posts. Just go greet a couple other new forum members and you're there.
