My mate when i was 14 had a Raliegh Apex the purple one and i liked it a lot. So 24 years later i needed a bike to commute to my local train station. So on ebay i found a Raleigh Apex great. I went to look at it but it didn't look exactly like the one my mate had. Anyway for £40 i thought well i like it so i brought it. I still ride it today. The sticker on the frame is all faded and broken so you cant actually read its a Apex? It is from that age when all the frames were the same but with different componants. Can a steel frame rider who is a super geek confirm if it is actually an Apex? I still loce riding it and have eventaken it to a few bike parks. Please let me know if its the first edition Apex or what it is.
