Thanks. All so interesting. When I had the Raleigh for such a short amount of time, I also found it so much fun, but I couldn't explain why.
CapNMike--were you on the G&G customer ride a year before they moved? I was there and if you live in those parts, those are MOUNTAINS to me, with only the beginning of the ride rolling hills. I am impressed. Eric--Philadelphia downtown and south would be a good place to do fixed/SS. I notice a huge number of fixed/SS gear commuters. I love the shades of grey in your photo, and go over that bridge to NJ's Wiggins Park often, one of my favorite rides. Certainly on the other spectrum of the Appa, so that probably is why Will suggested it. Perhaps it's in the future for me. It's nice to know so many have a truly different bike that you a different thrill than geared bikes.
