I took my wifes bike out, aired up the tires and took it out for a 7 mile ride in the country yesterday. I just got my breath back. It's a lot of uphill roads around here. It still has the Raleigh N.C. bicycle license from June of 1965 on it. I never noticed until I was taking the pictures that the fork is bent back. Problem is, my wife won't let me take it apart and fix it. Anyway it's hers, it rides like a dream and she loves it the way it is. Whatever makes her happy. Right guys?
