@MarkBrigham asks:

Maybe your old bike was new when you bought it; or maybe you collected a vintage bike because they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

Is it your “Tweed Ride”, or everyday ride. Whatever the case, show us your antique (pre-1975) bicycle. Pics, year of manufacture, year you acquired, gearing, etc.

Q7. Aside from weight and efficiency, is it the best bike in your stable?

@ascentale @bikenite Yeah, we had quite a discussion on this earlier today. Apparently folks are following #BikeNitePQ to get a head start. I'm excited to see who else is ridin' a #Vintage or #antique #bicycle, occasionally or regularly.

Since it was my question, I'll post two antique steeds in my stable.

First up: 1961 Raleigh Sports, bog standard, with the most perfectly broken-in Brooks B-72 on the planet.

I love it. Show me yours!

A bicycle posing, resting on its kickstand. It's a black Raleigh Sports 3-speed with mud guards, a reed basket hangs from the handlebars. Crappy, mismatched rubber handles adorn the handlebars. A herringbone tweed saddle bag hangs from the leather saddle. The rear mudguard has the classic english bike white paint at the rear of the mudguard. It's on a sidewalk, green grass behind. In the background, vintage signs adorn the side of a building.
