It gets more compliments than anything i have ridden, I guess because it looks so nice in black and is in really good shape. They are great bikes, Joe
Like I said, "freakin Raleigh cool".
2017 Leroica, I took Merz TW189 as I did this year. Also took my son and his 76? Raleigh Super Course and while he didn't do the big ride with me as I should have made happen, we did take it to the concourse and leaned it against a tree at the outskirts.
It got more attention than the Merz all day long.
At the motel, they were both leaning against the wall outside, almost everybody stopped to look at it, half didn't even comment on the Merz.
Here's a pic of Merz with the Merz
And the SC that we rebuilt from the frame up with him doing much of the hands on for the first time.
