Chilly, damp, and grey tonight - so this Raleigh 3-speed is in its natural habitat. The street lamp gives the green an odd tone.

I like this bike for evening rides because I can run dual headlights - battery and Dynohub, as well as the standard tail lamp. It also has those big Panaracer tires that soak up any bumps that escape my headlights.

It's very unusually dry, and surprisingly warm over here at the moment! But chilly and damp is a very apt description of its native habitat.

First ride in 3 weeks.
I broke a bone in my right thumb whilst falling over in the shower.
That's one elbow and one thumb so far this year, I do hope these things don't really come in threes!
Anyway, out on a little jaunt after dark, around 8 miles round trip to the Benson Veteran Cycle Club annual social evening and presentation.
This is along my usual commute route.
Apologies for poor outdoor shots, I have no excuses, the cider came later......

Plus fours and vintage shoes tonight.....

Some interesting stuff on display tonight......

I'll post some more stuff on these and more in the Antique and Lightweight forums later, help may be required?

Went back to the Murrieta car show. Rode the 80 King Sting with a yellow band 2 speed today. That's a 49 Buick, a superior built flawless custom.

Well, half way through October and no real fall color yet. We had a chilly August, but a warm September and a fairly warm start to October. Mild winter?

Bike trail shakedown of a fully functioning Interrobang (Mk1) on the rail trail. I need to loosen up the headset a hair and completely tighten all the spokes in the rear wheel that I dropped to the LBS to save me time while I did other things and because my truing stand developed some play in it. "Why build your own boat, Steve? You could just buy one for cheaper, you know!" Because I can (sadly) not only do a better job of it in a lot of cases, but I can also design what I want, not what some marketing department came up for the masses. No one can make money building only what I and fourteen other weirdos would buy. At least the bike felt shaky because of the wheel and not an inherent quality of a cheap 53 year old frame being ridden by someone about double the designed weight. Rant over, here's some pictures. It's a step-through '64 Spaceliner frame with TRM tank, Builtpoor! handlebars, Thompson grips. The shifter for the 3-speed IGH is the dial on the tank and the routing for the cable has its own tubing flowing with the top tubes. Taillight is a cab clearance light, the front modified cab clearance lenses with small LED lights behind them, all 12V, with the switch in the center of the shift dial.
