    Put your ring away and show me your bike!!

    Maybe those aren't actually cycling gloves seeing as they are short fingered and it's winter where you are?

    Heeey ... Nice! Looks like an early 80's models perhaps?? Judging by the Reynolds sticker I think I see on the seat tube?

    Is it a Raleigh? I had a Raleigh myself back in the early 80's. Also a Daccordi, Malvern Star and several others over the next few years. I have a carbon Colnago now and the wife has a Pinarello We also have mouintain bikes.

    You're a tall fella too!! That's a big frame!

    There are few bikes in our household as well

    Yes it's a raleigh sprint. It had been ridden twice then dry stored for 34yrs till I managed to purchase it "as new" for £50. It's a 25" frame.
    My latest purchase is a Fausto Coppi. Yet to ride it because of the snow.

    Cool, so I was pretty much spot on with the vintage.
    I don't have snow issues with my riding

    I've never seen a Fausto Coppi bike before. Is that the brand? Or is it the name of the bike of another brand?

    Oh yes of course. I have a DVD about Fausto. One of the greatest of all. Just never heard of the brand itself.
