The Raleigh Twenty was delivered this evening – and the cheesy smile on my face tells you that I’m happy with it ! Electric Red, with a Chrome finish, Pannier, Ding-Dong Bell & a Brooks Saddle… nice.
Took it for a spin around the block to see how it rides & I’m pleased, but I’m gonna get it serviced properly to make sure it’s alright. Probably bad that I’m already thinking of little ways to possibly ‘Pimp my Ride”… ooops.
I’ll be taking it to Portsmouth in the next few weeks, so expect tales of cycling by the Seaside (at last). I feel a lot less ‘precious’ about the Raleigh… I like how The Boy put it this afternoon:
“Frankie is the Bentley of Bikes for London – this one is for all things Coastal.”
