Re:
Very nice
Very nice
Together with the Sheer the Peak formed the top of the line in the 1992 Raleigh USA Technium line up. It is a bonded frame: Easton E9 tubing in the main triangle, cold forged lugs and cro-moly tail (from BB shell to monostay). The Easton tubing is anodized in purple/black.
The original fork is welded aluminium, but I chose for the RondWP for this project.
I have a weak spot for bonded frames. They're distinctive, technologically interesting and were part of a great era in mountainbiking.

Looks fantastic.
Was that your one Col? Makes me wish I'd bought it now but probably wouldn't have done as good a job as this.
