New Bicycle

Photo via LuLu Letty's Flickr

Z recently got me a Vintage (New to me) bicycle that I had been lusting over for so long.  It is a hunter green 1976 Raleigh Sports model. It is similar to the bike (even my woven basket) pictured above except my handle bars and brooks saddle seat are black. I will take a proper picture of my bike soon when I get the chance. The Owners kept the bike in their garage for years gathering dust and it was never used. There was virtually no rust and the original paint job and parts signature to the bike were intact. I could not have asked for a better birthday present so thank you so much, Z! I now have too many bicycles that we are able to store in our tiny San Francisco apartment, so I will be selling my other bike pictured down below. It is a 3 speed Vintage Foremost Woman’s English Bike that is nice and sturdy. Here are some pictures from last summer when Z and I went out for some bike riding to the park near-by. 








Cheers!
