Today I was driving by a garage sale and saw a bike, so I figured I
should stop.
As I approached I saw that it was copper colored Raleigh with high
flange hubs.
Closer, I could see it had a chrome fork ends, chrome stays, ornate fork crown
I could hardly breathe...could it be the Holy Grail; a copper colored
Raleigh International?
Alas, it was a Super Course with cheap simplex derailleurs.
However, it did have Suntour bar-end shifters that I've been looking
for and the hubs were Normandy with aluminum rims with new tires, and
some nice long reach centerpull brakes.
And the coolest handle bar water bottle holder ever.
The guy was an older gentleman and had ridden it to Madison and back
when he was younger.
Asking 40
I gave it too him.
