Raleigh History

[FirstFlight]

We've been working on the Raleigh page for the MOMBAT site. Take a look and let me know whatcha think. All of this info is for the USA Raleigh bikes which are quite a bit different than the UK bikes. We occasionally see a Canadian bike come thorugh that was from the English company and they aren't very similar to "ours".

[Repack Rider]

Here are the relevant pages from the 1984 catalog.

Notice that the "Crested Butte" is advertised with and shown with Shimano shifters and brakes, but the inset photo of the "power-thumb shifter" is clearly a Suntour Mountech, with a Dia-Compe brake lever.
