I have noticed that the blue Raleigh that I posted about earlier this month is consistently parked in the same spot during the work day. I decided that this bike needed to be better photographed so I grabbed the SLR and took a few more shots.
I couldn’t decide which photo of the seat to include. They both have such different moods to them, I figured I would post them both and let you decide which one suits the bike best.

Blue Raleigh
I spotted this fella while cruising around Portland. I like the color, but the owner didn’t do the best job of painting it. I’ve heard my father complain about orange peel since I was a kid, so seeing it has always bothered me. Other than that, it looks great.
Update: I reshot a few photos of this bike. See them here.
Maine Cyclist Shirt!
I’m spending a few days on North Haven, hanging out with friends, starting fires, going surprise swimming and screen printing shirts at Fox I Printworks.

Spotted in Rockland. Decked out with double mirrors, light, horn, panniers & a trunk bag.
Greasy Father
It turns out there are no bicycle shops in western Maine that stock hub grease. This became an issue when I went to overhaul the front and rear hubs and the headset on the Puch. As usual, there’s a solution in Dad’s garage, but it ain’t pretty.
I suppose it’s close enough to what I would have bought at a bike shop, but the color is going to be very misleading when I open it up to inspect for dirt later.
Whip Appeal
Unfortunately, only one of these is currently road ready.

Taking the Bikes for A Drive
Alan & Mo, aka Restless Collective, are in Seattle. This morning we drove the bikes down to Ortlieb USA to meet with their wonderful bag sponsor. These guys are awesome!
