Looks like a pre-Raleigh Triumph, which is all the better. That said, Raleigh was pretty good at having a distinguishing feature on each brand. My Raleigh Superbe has three Heron heads making up the chainwheel. Another has the letters RIH in the chainwheel. I think it was Humber that had a running man in the chainwheel. IIRC. Humber also had "Twin Tube" forks, before Raleigh phased them out because they were so expensive to make. All older Raleighs had a tube style fork crown with pressed in 'thimbles', while Dunelt had a 'D' shaped crown with 'D' shaped thimbles. Lower brands on the pecking order had a formed piece of flat stock for a crown with a chrome plate.
More useless info you don't need from a bike nerd.

Wow. Sagan's foul must have been pretty bad for him to be kicked out of the Tour. I don't think I have ever seen a rider dismissed from the Tour for endangering another rider.
- Perhaps Sagan has been watching a lot of NASCAR races.

Many e-bicycles cost more than a gas motorcycle. Here is a retro looking ebike with a 500w hub motor and 36v lithium battery for under a grand. Pic shows last years model.

That is quite similar to the typical mini bike frame designs of the '70's. I love it.

That would not be a difficult deal to build.

Yes, a v-twin Briggs and Stratton or a Predator.

Here is a bike that will allow you to feel every bump four times.
Reminds me of reading Dr Seuss books to my kids.

I figured he was going to hit the dirt before that video was over. That steering is ridiculous.

It seems that he could ride in a big circle, but not much else. His four wheeler is not ready for city traffic.
