Beautiful bikes Chris. I have always had a passion for the older black Competitions. The bar on the Raleigh looks very interesting, what kind is it¿ ( i can type the ? upsidedown because Im currently vactioning in the Yucatan with my wife) The 3 speed hub sounds pretty cool too. Velocult is a great shop, Ive been these a few times and just got one of the new wool jerseys, for some reason they dropped the San Diego from the jersey though.
Im missing riding being down here, but the white sand and baby blue water at 80F is fantastic. Mike On 26 ene, 07:19, MichaelH <mhech...@gmail.com> wrote: > Very nice bike, Chris. I love the color.
