Well after a summer sans bike, the first time since I was 17, I finally got another. I had to sell my Raleigh Alyeska (which was 2cm too large anyhow) during a brief period of unemployment last spring, but I just picked up a spiffy Raleigh Wyoming and I can't wait to spend this summer upgrading it and going for short rides. Perhaps I can finally do an extended ride next year. :) There frame is solid as can be, but it spent the last 3 months as a city bike before I rescued it so there are some chips through to the metal on the paint job. No rust on the inside though, thank god. Should I have it painted (and if so, by whom?) or should I do a DIY paint job on it?
