Wtd - Raleigh Peak circa 1992

Are you sure it's a Peak.
'93 Peaks were pink.

I'm not 100% sure it's a Peak, what I am sure about is it's a 1993 Raleigh with a K2 frame, and the exact same groupset and finishing kit (1993 Deore LX, Zoom stem) as the 1993 Peak. It doesn't match up with any other Raleigh from the catalogues, and I believe I have a Peak in an alternative colour scheme for those who might not want a bright pink bike. In this sense at least, I suppose it could be described as a bit 'rare'.

It also occurred to me that this may have been a warranty replacement, and the owner asked for the purple with green colour scheme, but the groupset was absolutely mint so it feels more likely that the bike came in Purple from new.

The only other clue I've been able to find is a sticker added by a bike shop, in German. Perhaps this Peak was originally sold in Germany, and Raleigh went with purple in the German market.

Sounds interesting.
Put some pics on.

Here are 2 photos (in bad light) right after I split the bike:

And here was the original bike (minus seat post):

I can take some better photos, or show specific areas, if you're interested. Tomorrow should be nice and sunny here in Plymouth.

I'm not after it.
Just interested in old Raleighs.
If I had the cash and space and one actually come along I'd get a 1993 Peak.

No worries - always glad to share my interest in old Raleighs!
