1949 Raleigh Clubman Along the Mighty Mississippi
My "Patina Preservation" project bike is finished now, and I absolutely love it. I've been riding it, exclusively, for almost two weeks.
Here it is, close to home, on the Mississippi River across from downtown Saint Paul, MN:




I've ridden it down to Hastings twice, and here's a shot of that:

I never imagined that a 70 year-old Reynolds 531 frame would ride this well. It gives me a new appreciation for English Analog Engineering. It rides like the Spitfire of Bicycles!

The view away from Golden Gate bridge at Ft. Baker. On a weekday you miss many of the 'Blazing Saddles' riders. They are more dangerous than great white sharks and ebola put together.
