Crikey! It sure didn't take long for this to degenerate into a
political thread did it? Too bad comments couldn't have stayed on the
topic of how the Raleighs were made back in 1946. :( VBSG It's
fascinating to see the craftmanship at play here on the various
components and steps of assembly. I found the making of the cranks and
the stamping of the chainring teeth to be of particualr interest. I
showed the clip to a friend of mine who owns a vintage Raleigh and he
was quite intrigued also. Thanks Andrew for sharing this clip.

Cheers

I not only rode my 1953 this morning, but I got the Free Bike Wash, and
with some lightning too.

Did you get a free bike bath by riding through a City of Madison Water
Feature (aka rain filled pothole)?


In the UK the potholes are so bad we have to swerve round the pinnacles of
tarmac still remaining!

You have nothing on the Russians:

As this video demonstrates, the real problem with water filled potholes
is you don't know how deep they are. This can make night riding in
particular very dangerous on bad roads with standing water.

Potholes and sink holes are different things entirely.
