My First Three Bikes

Found some old pix at my parent's house last week...

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 socks

Yeah, 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.
