1973 Raleigh Sprite

the only brooks saddle I own, and of course it's not one of the really cool ones.

Since this thing is pretty much bone stock, I didn't bother filling in any of the parts details. I got this bike a few years ago while looking for parts for my Mossberg. The owner of the local bike shop sold it to me for 5 dollars from his own personal collection. I rode this for about 3 years as my primary commuter. I've replaced the tires, but otherwise this thing is all original. I stopped riding this a few years ago after I dented the rear rim going over railroad tracks. I've considered bringing it back as a fixie, but I think it would be more proper to replace or repair the back wheel and keep it as a ten speed.
