Bikes are okay, I guess.

Not a gem and I don't need another, but this one might be worth it for what appears to be the (unmentioned) alloy rim wheels.

~70's? Raliegh made in England - $60 (Fan/Museum District)



Raleigh with 3 speed internal hub. Handle bars, seat, and pedals are replacements. I know a shop 3 blocks down that will give you a flat bar for free which is more like what it came with original. Has front brakes only atm (center-pull.) Rides great and is quick. Large frame and Has a replica emergency air pump that rides on the down tube (not in the photo.)

Downsides:
-shift into 2nd is "touchy" probably just needs a tiny adjustment or lube
-Cheap Schwinn seat
-Front brake only
