I did it, my anniversary is comming up and my husband told me he was going to get me a new bike. Last night we went shopping and I got a good starter bike. He bought me a Raleigh R400 road bike. Now I know the difference between my 1979 bike and a newer bike. God what a difference. I was floored when I finally figured out how to change the gears. I was used to the old gear shifter on the goose neck. The ride is awesome too! I cant wait to get home tonight and go for a ride.
