Raleigh Crested Butte: Lucky 7

The Raleigh Crested Butte, as it is in December of 2019. I mentioned at the fifth year anniversary of owning the Crested Butte how having any bike go beyond that milestone was new territory for me. I pretty much sold or ditched any bike before I got to owning it six years. Would this Raleigh...

The Crested Butte at five years

I've had a number of bikes in my adult years, and I'm counting every bike I've had since I turned 18. Let me take a sec and count...seventeen? Yeesh. A lot of bikes. Out of that number, I've only had a handful that have lasted five or more years: The crappy Huffy MTB I got...

Coffeeneuring 2015, Ride 3: Appropriately, a three speed teaneurring ride. (And with April, too!)

Ah, here we are, the third ride in on the 2015 Coffeeneuring Challenge. Half-way, almost. A hump-day ride for the hump of the challenge. Let's mix things up and keep it interesting, shall we? The third ride of the challenge is an appropriate enough time to pull out ye olde three speed, huh? And nothing goes...

Back to cream.

It's a bold move, so brace yourself: Over the past week, I have switched two bikes back to cream colored tires. Two bikes! At practically the same time! Crazy, no? First, let's talk about the Raleigh Crested Butte. A few months ago I picked up Continental Traffic 26" x 2.1" tires. I wanted to experiment...

Crested Butte 2.0 or Crested Butte 0.5?

It's been a weird year for my Raleigh Crested Butte. Coming into 2014, not much had changed to its setup since I did a bunch of stuff to it after purchasing it in October of 2012. The switches were pretty minor: replacing tires a few times, replacing the old rack with a Wald Giant Delivery...

Three Speed Teaneuring Ride No. 4, 29 October 2014

Man, what a wet weather cycle we've been in this October. From about the second week of October until now (and after now, too), the forecast is pretty much rain. There may be breaks in there, but overall the plan is to expect rain. Once again, my plans for getting "one last camping trip in"...

Crested Butte: Current Status

It's been a bit since I've written about my Raleigh Crested Butte vintage mountain bike. Actually, I've barely ridden the bike over the past few months, as I've been mostly riding the XO-3. But there's been a few changes to the bike as of late, and now is as good a time as ever to...

Interesting bikes spotted: Fred Meyer Hawthorne edition

I haven't done an Interesting Bikes Spotted post here for awhile. That's partially because I have (too) many other things to write about, but also because my tumblr blog bikesspottedpdx is the escape valve/appropriate place for me to post these things. But every once in awhile something will pop up here. And in this case,...
