Still got my Raleigh Classic from 84′, wheels are still as true as when I bought it…….lovely Suze hubs and Simplex gears……you needed every gear on the triple esp in the Picos mtns.
Worked from home for 20 years now, it has its ups and downs…..but thats being self employed.
You only get work if you give a good service and you dont get paid for not working. But if you have a good run of work its great for getting out on the bike!
