Hello @Suprachrgd82. This side of the code is not that different to the others, I think you will not find things as strange as you think ;) First up seat posts for those Pugs are quite unusual size wise so don't chuck that one out. If you want a more modern clamp people sell new 'uns but at a...

63cm CTT 21cm head tube. Me and a mate of mine are locked in an battle as to who can ride with less seatpost as we know it upsets the cafe pros.

I DIY resprayed as the paint was crappy when I got it. Wheels were both rubbish so new Harry Rowland built sputniks went on. Chainset, rack, seatpost, bars, retrofriction levers, front mech, stem and the Weinmann 420AG cantis are original. Apologies for the poor pic, artificial light.

For some reason they never put the lowrider mounts on the Cov Eagle, just the Brit Eagle.

I have the Coventry Eagle branded version of the Touristique. Done a couple of 3 day tours on it, punches way above the brands rep - brilliantly neutral handling fully laden and smooth as mile muncher. This looks very original.

Nice one. We'll stay tuned for the rebuild in that case.

Noice....stem fitted by an unemployed orthodontist, clearly.

Of course - and they'll be a must have bike in 2055 with a name on the frame we'll not have heard of. My point is nobody alive in 2055 to remember Raleigh's heyday so why should the brand have any value then?

With each person of a certain age who snuffs the lid (say anybody over 45) the brand name of Raleigh surely dimishes in lustre. In 20 or 30 years nobody alive will give a toss about Burners, Choppers or any other Raleigh bike - it won't mean anything to them in the same way Humber, Hillman...

If this is your thing then the price is very fair IMHO, given how few come up for sale. I'm just glad its not bigger!

Poverty in working age adults is the same or slightly worse now than the 90s. Poverty has decreased for pensioners over the last 30 years with child poverty also down slightly. 15% of the population being in poverty (I've seen it measured as high as 21%) is still dreadful - equivalent roughly to...

You experience (not too dissimilar from my own as it happens) surely illustrates how easy it is for poverty to be under the radar. I don't buy that people aren't really in poverty, just making bad choices like an iPhone instead of groceries. Thats like telling first jobbers in their early 20s on...

then £8350 saved and nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Thanet

After exhaustive research I've come to the personal conclusion that the work of Surgeon works best for me on the bike. Yes its Techno but he seems to have been grounded in 70s/80s alternative music like Coil, Wire and the ambient side of Eno. Tends to be in the 140-160 BPM range so matches a...

DOH...yes of course, you're right I think @winjohn

Bit of a bitsa but worth the £85 asking price I feel...
