2013 Lake Pepin.  Signed up a few weeks ago too.

Hello everyone! I was in attendance on the Tweed ride last year and was curious to know if anything was being planned for this year? I got some lovely new lace n leather gloves that will match my lugged steel whip very well indeed.

Time to think about the 2013 Lake Pepin 3sp Tour. Just signed up- wouldn't miss it!

My recently aquired (lunchtime today) Cozy Hearth Tweed coat, just $12.99 in the SallyAnne Thrift in Lake Zurich!

Nice. i'd trade you my '71 brown Sports for it. i always liked the Bottle Green. Had one that vintage and colour, but it was swiped back in "79.

And 20" wheels!  The size of the future.

I think a nice paint-job and some braze-on removals are in order :P

It's pretty good. The mudguards/fenders have a few dents, but I beat the worst of them out. I had to swap out the stem, but I put another Raleigh one on it - even thought it isn't quite the same as the original. The Brooks B72 was toast, no leather left at all, so I put a Schwinn(!) seat on it. Nice Trygg two-legged stand.

That is more my size.  Decent condition?

'69 Gents Raleigh Sports, in the less common 23" size, I was working on today ...
