This is my 12-speed Rampar Rapide. Rampar is a lower end division of Raleigh. Made in Taiwan. But still a LBS bike.
I got it in trade with Nate. This was his Grandpa's bike.
I wanted to do something totally opposite of my Schwinn. I took a lot of cues from other bikes that I like but don't have the budget for. Kogswell, Rivendell, Handsome and one of my favorites - the Bridgestone XO-1.
