In that case, where all the Activators? Not aware of any other manufacturer using lead for the frame tubes!

it is misconstrued that the activator has a heavier than normal frame,its the forks that are over heavy,and there are many other steel bikes on rb that are just as heavy,most of the haters of raleigh and their mistakes have never even sat on an activator :roll: :roll:

Richard Cunningham made Mantis XCRs/Flying Vs for a number of years. Fisher CR-7 and Nishiki Alien only 3 (and those were Richard Cunningham designed/built) and the GT Xizang, which was a one year flash in the pan dreamt up by Maurice Lavoy.
So I'll throw mine to the wolves.
When I got the bike it had never been ridden. It get's ridden now.
