1975 Roadmaster (made in Olney, IL)
1977 Rampar R-10 (later run over by a neighbor lady and replaced with an '81 model)
1981 Raleigh Rapide + tube socksYeah, surprisingly no Schwinns. All of my friends had Schwinns, I wanted something different, so we drove to the larger twin cities of Champaign/Urbana, IL and bought the Raleighs from Durst Cycle.
Nice. Stem shifters, chrome pie plate, seat adjusted down, forward and with the nose up for adolescent comfort. And let's not forget a fork rake to rival a boomerang. Oh, and the socks...Nice.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they definitely bought that last bike for you to "grow into".
ReplyDeleteMy first "10 speed" was a Raleigh Record (white with orange panels). Maybe....1973??
