My first ten-speed was a 1971 Schwinn Sports Tourer, one model up from the Super Sport. Although it had some nice components, it was a typical Schwinn tank. Two years later, I bought a much lighter Raleigh Super Course, and swapped out its cottered Stronglight crankset for a TA, later converting it to a triple. I’ve ridden that bike for 29 of my 38 RAGBRAIs, and will ride it again this year.
