Newbie from Canada
Hello from Canada,
Fairly new to the bike world, specifically retro / vintage bikes.
Picked up a 1985 Raleigh Grand Prix (made in Canada) a number of years ago and have gradually become obsessed with it.

Lots of Canadian bikes and builders worthy a good obsession.

The Grand Prix is a good bike. I had a 1980. Be sure to visit us over at classic & vintage sub-forum.
