Got my bike today!
Thanks for your help everyone. I did get my bike today for a nice price at the used bike
shop on Broadway I was turned onto here. Here is a kinda bad picture. Doesn't do it justice.
Nice 77 Raleigh Sport 3 speed
. Love it!

I love classic Raleighs. My 2nd bike was a Raleigh 10 speed when I was 10 years old. I miss that bike, but I had it in Cambridge, England and we didn't bring it to the states.

Yes you're right it is Nearly New, 3826 N. Broadway. I had such a nice experience and cannot wait to recommend them. These are nice and easy going guys who seem only interested in recycling bikes. Fair prices and they let you test drive without any hassle. Also gave a 60 day warranty good for parts and labor even a flat tire is included. I will tell everyone I can about them and return my repair and bike business here. Rode my bike most of the afternoon and love it love love it!

Those are great bikes! I'd get a new seat ASAP though. That things looks like it'd be a literal pain in the bump after 20 minutes of riding.

The seat seems like a recliner compared to the seat I was on. It is kinda of ugly though.

Nice. I've looked over a few at that place and it's worth it to buy a vintage or a used "fixie" and they're really affordable.
If you can make it to that bike shop on Division in Humboldt they'll show you or help for the low, low price of $10 an hour how to fix your bike.
