Went for a nice evening #threespeedoct2020 ride, second ride of the first week. Grabbed my wife’s Raleigh Sprite three speed. This was originally an untunable 10 speed bike boom bike that she found in an arroyo in Cuyamungue. I turned it into a SA three speed for her birthday when we first started dating, including rebuilding the rear wheel for the 3 speed hub, adding brooks saddle and new stem/bars. Still rocking the Bobke’s Prayer Stix grips, although they are getting crusty. It is a pretty sweet ride still despite relatively narrow 27” tires. One of the largest production step through frames I have ever seen, ctc 59cm seat tube and ~57Cm effective top tube, which works great for Elena as she is on team tall, and I don’t have to adjust the saddle when I steal it for short rides. I did a quick 5 mile loop including @urbanadventureleaguepdx approved stops for PO Box checking/#tariksalehbikeclub mailings, and checking out this sweet burnt car. #threespeed #raleigh #raleighsprite #sturmeyarcher #stepthrough #losalamospostoffice #87544 #bobkesprayerstix https://www.instagram.com/p/CFtFgGolnpJ/?igshid=rxyic9pbd4mg
