Little Bike Look Out - Romantic Roma in Brighton

A Raleigh Roma, probably from the late seventies or early eighties. We think the black handlebar may be not be original, but it's a good visual fit with the bike.  Snapped in the Brighton lanes, near one of the best ice cream parlours Gelato Gusto.  Little Bike Look Out - what's that?  Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986.

Little Bike Look Out - Festive Feasts

We wonder what edible delights have been transported in this rather decadent hamper, now cleverly used as a bicycle bumper basket.   Little Bike Look Out - what's that?  Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986.
