peewee herman would love that bike

Classic design and color, very nice

[@digbyodell2924]

I watched another piece on Raleigh and it seemed like they were ALL IN on electric; like electric models were all they brought to the show. How long before pedal assist is hacked with one of those seat tube electric worm gear motors so the pedals turn over by themselves?

hi bikemanforme i am getting ready for summer slime super thick tubes,slime skab patches slime tube liners and i am thinking of a electric bike pusher system that will work on two bikes i have your thoughts?

[@joecrosson6940]

I like the concept of electric assisted bikes,but it seems like people are using them to take over the pedaling part of bicycling.If that's the case get a motorcycle.

It's a nice concept, but Tourney? A cheap wheelset? Compared to the original 50s model, this bike is not worthy of the Superbe name.
