Old School Grand Master
I am proud to announce my new addition to the retro family
This is an 89 Raleigh Avanti that I seem to have woken up from hibernation since its birth ! I won this on Ebay at the weekend , I got it for less than half I was willing to pay happy days.
The early Raleigh's are close to my heart as I worked in a local Raleigh bike shop between 1990 and 1992.
I have just got back from up north with it and have pumped up the tyres and set the canti's. It is 100 % factory even down the panaracer timbuk 11's that are unbelievably not perished even the surface on the rims is not worn out
I will have to give it it a clean and tune up, I have just noticed it doesn't have a chainstay bridge by the bb :shock:
Enjoy
