I've been searching for my dream bike for months now, and I've really gained an appreciation for vintage English three-speeds, like this Raleigh. I think part of the reason these appeal to me so much is that they provoke feelings of well dressed British men riding through the rainy countryside. I just love the old-school appeal. I even prefer the men's high bar to the step-through frame, which has made it hard for me to find one that's small enough for me.

Thanks to ds220 for the picture.
