bike porn: 1970 raleigh fireball

It stopped raining yesterday, and I went for a bike ride to Velo Cult to see a new batch of vintage bikes they just got in.

Here's a few shots for your viewing pleasure. First up, a 1970 Raleigh Fireball, which is apparently super-rare. This one is minty-delicious.

 

Who knew Brooks made saddles like this?

Raleigh Twenty, all original.

The ride home was brisk (39F) but dry, and provided a beautiful winter sunset along the way.
