That what you've wrote, ain't the point - I'm struggling to understand the thinking, the rationale, that some people had for (wrongly) believing GT bikes weren't cool, to thinking that Raliegh bikes are.

Some Raleigh USAs were still produced in Nottingham even prior to the Derby group buyout.Further I seem to recall Raleigh UK distributing Techniums in the early 90s. Whilst they are certainly seperate I would perhaps argue the relationship is somewhat closer than GT and whoever, esp given the commonality of Derby.

Indeed, think we're thinking about this one a bit too much

To be fair the Raleigh Moonshine was quite nice - pink and purple neon frame, Reynolds lugged 531 tubes, Full XT group. Straighblade rigid 531 forks. Was a nice bike for its time and good value.
Didnt fetch much thoand yes, gate-like due to HUGE sizes they produced them in...

I was thinking about Activators a bit too much earlier and I threw up in my mouth a little bit.......
That GT vote is going to haunt this site for years to come BTW.
sinnett177, I normally have great respect for your knowledge and opinion, and you have some lovely bikes, however today you are clearly out of your mind.
