Hello all, I am a returning list member from Portland, OR. I am a relative newbie and am truly enjoying the lightweight vintage bike hobby. I currently own and ride a 1972 Raleigh pro; a 1983 Bianchi Superleggera (all original with pantographed parts); a 1985 Miyata 1000 (my winter bike); a 1976 Apollo Imperial with full 1st gen black Dura Ace; a 1997 Bianchi Campione which I "upgraded" to 80's Super record; my cruiser, a 1952 Raleigh Sports and soon (I hope) a Fuso which I will be looking at and I'm told is my size.
I am looking for a lightweight bike for my wife for X-mas. She does not want to ride a traditional "mens" frame so I am looking for a mixte but something with better tubing than the typical hi-ten stuff out there. A Super Course would be PERFECT because she likes raleigh too. A full bike or just frame/fork would be fine. Does anyone have something they might part with?
Also, I am a friend of Larry Meyers and will be there at Recyclery in Feb. I will show my bikes if there is room and I look forward to meeting list members!
Thanks so much.
