Hey guys
Just did another beautiful ride with Keegan today out to Duke Point, then further south past Cedar and a ways along Yellowpoint Rd. Absolutely gorgeous day for it, well any day is for a ride in Nanaimo. It occured to me today that I would love to see photos of our bikes posted. So in that spirit I am including one of my Raleigh Twenty, the bike I rode on our first group ride. It was fixed gear then, I swapped the cog out for a freewheel and it has a different chainring now. Still the same old great riding Twenty. Not bad at all for a bike originally intended as a shopper, strictly utilitarian. After 34 years it's still going strong and good for many more miles ahead. I have a few more single speed bikes I'll add photos of later. Good riding guys and let's see those photos!

This is my 1984 Fuji Del Rey fixed conversion. Fantastic bike to ride. Old quad-butted steel. Very supple and comfortable to ride.
Check my blog: www.wheelcuts.com for more detailed shots and info on this beauty.

Keegan you really have to take that Fuji out for a spin. How about the next ride when I'm back I'll ride the Rossin, it'll be a great retro duo.

Yeah! For sure . Old lugged steel - although it never really went away we can say we're bringing it back!
