Are you referring to the Raleigh or the scabby chair?
No carbon frame? - No aero wheels? - No Di2 gears? - No disc brakes? - No Garmin? ....

What's "l'eroica"?
What's "l'eroica"?
It's a not very serious bike race. initially in Italy but there's a U.K. one too now, bikes have to be over a certain age.
People tend to dress in period kit too.
Done this one about 7years ago.its not turned a wheel since lol.

Should definitely be the chair, the bike looks almost like new.
Come and do the Velo Retro with us! A nice ride in the Lakes around Coniston. Doubtful for 2020, but hopefully back in 2021 https://sportivelakes.co.uk/
For old bikes only - I use my 1977 Dawes (with Sturmey Archer 3-speed )
If you're thinking this would be nice but I don't have a suitable bike, this one I picked up 2 years ago and has been ridden a lot since.
It cost £113 and I spent about another £30 on brake blocks, cables, tape etc. It must still be worth £120, so we're not talking massive investments!!
I think gearing on the older bikes are better, for me anyway.It's fascinating how bike specs have changed. Look at that, twin chain rings that are incredibly similar in size. Nothing like a modern compact. All old bikes are like that and they couldn't all have been flat track racers - I don't know how people got up hills!
I’m liking the way you have connected the frame holder. I have that type of gripper on my fold away maintenance stand, is that wall mounted option available or did you just adapt it to suit your needs ?
