My steez for the GRC

Let it be known that I am an avid trash-picker. I have been keeping my eye on this home clean-out that has been happening around the corner. On Sunday, it paid off in a big way. Leaning against a tree, slated to be taken with the Monday trash pickup, was this. OG Phillips 3 speed utilitarian British bike, before they were bought by Raleigh! What a find, I practically jumped out of the moving vehicle and I was the driver. Some rust removal, new cables, brake pads, front basket for beer transport and she's ready for the Gentleman's Riding Club.
