New old guy!
Glad to be here! Just got back to biking after 40 years away, with a new to me Raleigh Super Course from 1985. I'll post pics when I can.

We were all "new" at one time! say hello to a few people here and get your post count up to 10...I am sure we would all like to see your ride.
Best, Ben

I'm mystified why they make it so hard to "qualify" here, I was posting pics day one at retrobikes?

That’s a tall bike! (And a short Pug). They’re both looking good.
Had my retro bike out last night for a classic ride along the river. Enjoy the forums. You probably have already checked out ‘Classic and Vintage’.

Thanks Mitch!
It's a 63cm frame, almost too much for my size. Checking out a 1994~1996 Cannondale R900 this afternoon to see if it's a better fit at 60cm.

Thanks! Much as I hate to say it my Raleigh my go on the block one of these days. I love it, but picked up a basket case Cannondale R900 on Sunday. Took it to the LBS Monday for a tire and tuneup, but it'll need to be stripped down and refinished before I decide what to do.

Welcome to bike forums. The reason for requiring a minimum post count before posting pics is to reduce spam.
