I put an ad in Craiglist asking if anyone has an old bike in the back of a barn and two days ago I got an offer of a 50 year old "Canadaian raleigh" with a three speed hub with coaster brakes.He says the bike is ridable.
A few days ago I was in an old junk store and I asked about old bikes and he showed me a 1960s " Fastback" I don't know if any of you can remember them but they came with the stick shifter on the double crossbar and were orange in colour. Too small to motorize but having had one when I was a kid, it was cool to remember those days
