    That's cool, thanks for the picture. I remember somebody in our neighborhood had a Raleigh 10 spd. nice. I bought a Trek probably 1979 at time built in USA Waterloo, Wis. Still have it, needs new rubber grips and new tires.

    I used to live in Freemont around 1978-79 bought my Trek at a bicycle COP/store down from Buckaroo Tavern on Fremont a little ways up the hill from the bridge. I think it was Wright Bros.COP I was a member Sometimes some friends and I would ride downtown real late at night 2:00 A.M. race down the streets.
