Work bikes

If I could bike to work it would be on my Richter:

Raleigh Pulsar maybe? Its got a space shuttle sticker on-what more could a man want!
Heavily patina'ed! running shimano hub gears-8K miles on a sandy salty commute with nothing but a greasing of the cones and a slosh out. The sand and salt has rusted almost everything on the bike but she rides sweet. No squeeks, rattles or mis shifts. Shimano dual pivot long drops take car of the stopping.

What about the one on my 1986 Raleigh Record Sprint (See My Signature)

Thanks! I would of had it powdercoated ages ago cos of the rust but I can't bear to lose the shuttle.

Joint Best Decal on the site!

Though I think I might still slightly prefer the very spacey blue and white.

some mutual decal envy going on for sure. yours is massive, and gold and thats never bad.
I'll try and get a shot of the other side of mine which is identical but says "aerospace contour" under it-which presumably refers to the gas pipe downtube that is slightly oval shaped to eek every last watt out of this high tech machine.

Re:

This is my commuter bike – 97 Xizang running Zipp 515 and an assortment of Coook Bros, Magura/Altek and XTR. Will be installing Altek lever/masters all round and braiding the lines after xmas...

Goes without saying, this is kept in the office.

Whohaa, that thing must go like a rocket! Stiff as hell!
FFWD!
