This started back in 1991 with a MBUK cover shot; that was it I wanted one, no I needed one - not sure why - probably becuase Tomac rode a Raleigh USA and maybe in way it was 'related' to my Reynolds 501 tubed Raleigh Moonrun.... :?: :!: (which was as close as I got - until now).
So ever since getting into Retro Bike I have been on the look out for one. Then I found it, NOS, it was the wrong year (a '92 not a '91), it had the wrong forks (aluminium not a straight Tange Big Fork), the wrong colour stickers, (yellow not pink), but these are all fixable the frame and colour are the same....................and the yellow is growing on me
Anyhow enough rambling here are some pics - it is mint though there is a issue with the paint on the forks - a couple of small areas don't appear to have been degreased prior to application so maybe its a '2nd' and never sold..
