My girlfriend's Raleigh Caprice
Completely conventional minus the Dia Compe BMX brakes and levers, singlespeed conversion and plastic mudguards. I had it powdercoated as after a few years of daily abuse my rattlecan paint job was starting to show its age. Might upgrade to hub brakes if I can get some on the cheap. It's the most comfortable thing I've ridden.
Eventually I'll build her a nice touring/daytripping bike when I find a suitable frame, as the Caprice isn't up to long journeys or hills.
