Is there any Raleigh Bomber owners on here?

Hi guys, I had a Raleigh Bomber a couple of years ago, I sold it, which I really regret doing, I am wondering if anyone on here has one, or likes them too?
Mine was not a 3 speed IGH but a 5 speed derailleur model, of which I have not seen much of.
I will hopefully own another at some stage, until then might have to build myself a Tracker to cure the itch for a while
 
I had one a long while back and I've been itching to find another. I white-walled the original tyres and put chrome wide mudguards on it. It looked great with gloss black paintwork!
It's the only bike I've ever known to be able to lock the front wheel up in a controlled skid... This eventually lead to cracking the frame all the way around the head tube lug and its untimely demise but it was fun while it lasted.

Here's mine >>>

What are your plans for it?

Dunno, all my projects take toooooo long :oops: . I'd like to rebuild it but I've had it for years and not touched it yet. It was rescued from the tip. I wanted it because it had the shop decal from the original 'Paignton Cycles' that I used to walk past as a kid. Several years later it moved further down the road and I worked there during 92 - 94. See, it's their fault I'm stuck here! :LOL:
