Thanks Bob, I love the 70s bikesThat Raleigh Rapide is another stunner GIGFY.... I do feel that the '75-'85 era bikes are the pick of the litter..... envy. !!!
I like the Miele too. Certainly a Canadian bike, I can't find much out about them. The shop still exists that supplied it.I like the Miele. I think the brand was later purchased by a Canadian company. I see a lot of 70s-80s stuff, a few I'd like to own. Course I know nuffink about road bikes, don't even know what would fit me, and the drop bars would have to go...

Spot on Matti thank you It's certainly a well made bicycle.Jim Miele
Born in Casino, Italy, Miele came to Canada with his family when he was six years old. His love of bicycle racing began at a young age under the guidance of his father, also a cyclist. Jim went on to be educated and work as an engineer in Toronto. Later, he returned to bicycles and with his father began the International Bicycle stores.
Inspired by Italian-made bikes imported into Canada, Miele began building his own frames. He sponsored the well-known Catena and Miele cycling teams and also introduced the weekday and weekend criterium series to Toronto.
Miele was instrumental in bringing the famous Carlsberg Grand Prix series to the streets of Toronto. In the early '90s, with an upsurge in mass-made bikes and weakened demand for companies such as
Jim's, he returned to retail, operating various stores such as Peel Cycle and and the Bike Factory
