Needs better pictures!

I thought there was only 100 made and 24ct plated

Dame thought it was 18ct

they did make 100 then loads of raleigh dealers royally kicked off so no101-200 where made

Right with you now,I have one of the original 100 its used as it should be

well funny you should say that but the no.101-200 came out at the same time as 001-100 as theychanged there plans after the pre-order uproar and made 200 straight off the bat

I never understood Raleigh with this bike A Century edition bike which looks fantastic - gorgeous - outstanding and they stick a 105 groupset on it

They should have had a custom engraved Campag' SR groupset on it instead and the name Campagnolo replaced with 'RALEIGH C'

There's only one way to find out the answer time machine back to 87 sit the guy who said yes down slap him round the face while screaming WHHHHHHYYYYYYY WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY YOU ARSE WWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
