Hello,
I hope it is okay that I am from Michigan. Maybe someday I will get a chance to hop over the pond with my bike and tour with some of you (wishful thinking at this time). I ran across your forum as I was browsing the net for solutions to my eyes watering all the time I am out in the cold or wind. I noticed that the link I clicked on was this forum so I checked it out and thought it to be really cool. I have a 1975 Raleigh Grand Prix from Nottingham. I bought it this past July. I am a 57 year old male and started riding a bicycle 2 years ago when I was experiencing back issues that prevented me from walking distances. I started off with a department store mountain bike and rode that until I purchased the Raleigh. I wanted a strong frame that would hold up to my weight and the Raleigh fit the bill. My main interest is in commuting and touring and bicycle camping. I have not been on any extended rides yet. The furthest was about 20 miles. Thanks for reading, I look forward to making connections here. ~Bike Boomer

Nice choice of bike, not that I'm biased or anything.

Thanks, What year is your Raleigh?

Hi and @Bike Boomer

Like the choice of bike. I hope it'll bring you a lot of pleasure.

Thanks Phil. Have you ever pulled cotter pins from a Raleigh?

That is good to know!

Hi Bike Boomer! We have lots of US members who don't seem to mind our spelling... which is colourful...

Thanks for that info. I have picked up on some of the spelling.

Hello Mrs M.

 

[Bike Boomer]

I hope bike riding is helping you. One of the reasons I started riding was to become more fit too. Hang in there!

Thanks, What year is your Raleigh?

I've got 4, 73 Worksop built 531 (not sure of the model, its been repainted) 83 Equipe (the red and white model referred to as the superEquipe) 86 3 speed 'Courier' and an Outlander MTB from the late 80s/ early 90s (to replace a stolen Mustang for trailer towing)
I've also got a 67/68 Carlton Clubman (Raleigh purchased the Carlton factory and name) that's been in the family from new (it was my cousins) and a few other bikes, the latest being my Kentex trike with an electric front wheel kit fitted, bought for physiotherapy (and transport) after I broke my femur last year.
