[RBW] Re: Vintage "Time Warp" Raleigh Back on the Market

[Lungimsam]

My Bro in law has two of these and it is interesting to note the short stem 
extensions...definitely the opposite philosophy of RBW.

Makes sense to use the shortest stem possible for ultimate upright riding. 
Perhaps their bars don't have enough rear reach, like Bosco's do for use 
with a long stem extension.

The reason I find it interesting is that Raleigh is, in effect, validating 
shorts stem extensions, whereas two people at RBW poo-poo-ed short stem 
extensions when I talked with them about them. I was shocked because RBW 
velosophy is about using what works and makes sense for a given rider and 
their riding purposes.

Its a pretty bike, several years ago it wouldn't have fetched much, but now 
with vintage bikes of all types making a resurgence and it being in great 
condition you may have something! Old Klunkers are positively enjoying cultlike 
status these days, then there's the L'Eroica stuff and lastly the twead rides, 
which this would be great for! I think there are some 3speed enthusiast groups, 
you might try posting on one of those!

This is a willing-seller-willing-buyer situation. I'm open to reasonable offers.

That's a really remarkable... price. I guess it's a different market out on 
the left coast. Here, despite seller ad copy to the contrary, they are very 
common--even ones in great condition. Maybe cause we are closer to England? 
I bought my ex-wife the same 3-speed coffee color in like new condition 
for...less, not all that long ago. (If the one you have was never ridden, 
someone must have dropped a bottle of wine or a monkey wrench on the fender 
while fumbling around in that dark, dry basement;^)

Here's one on a local CL right now:

http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/bik/5666584416.html

The price in the ad is about the top end out this way, for one in excellent 
shape, unless it's some special thing with dyno hub and rod brakes and 
leather saddle. Maybe I should go into business with you shipping them out 
there! (Still, I hope you didn't pay more than $450 for it!)
