Background
My toy these days is my Raleigh. Good frame, good enough components. I love riding across campus in this thing, especially when the sprinklers have just been on and I flick up just a few droplets of mud on my shirt and glasses, just to let my co-workers know I like to have a good time.I rebuilt the rear wheel myself, after ruining the stock rim. That's my first wheel job, and it's not perfectly true, but the disc brakes mean it doesn't give me trouble, and I have it tensioned tighter than the stock rim was. Feels good to have a sturdy wheel on the back.
It's worth about $650 new, but I might be willing to let it go for about $375.
