Re: raleigh The Professional frame with the web type lugs was Brigg built in the Falcon frame shop. The factories in Thailand tended to Tig weld frames there was no lugged frames made in Thailand for CB. There were bikes assembled there but not this model. The logistics of getting small...

No this bike did not get sold, it was never for sale :) Trevor started the bike shop after 1973 so he was not there when you moved. I know a few cyclists from Lloyds avenue, it must be a biker hot spot. I am afraid I am not likely to sell this bike. I wanted to restore and use in the way my...

good light weight tip is run it without toestraps:) seriously they were quite heavy but most mountain bikes were in those days at those price points . The kit was pretty standard compared to others in that era so not overweight due to that. The frame maybe weighed a kg more than a top end frame...

did you buy it from berkshire cycles? Yes I worked at falcon. I have a photo of this bike in the development office somewhere. I will post if I can find it. Tim

Thanks for posting the catalogue scan and have a look at my sig for a thread about mine. Had since new and ridden regularly. Carl. Had a look and It looks in great condition. By the way if they are original (they wil have quite fat welds) the bar ends are not tranZ x they are Venhill racing...

Go off there and you would need more than expanded polystyrene and a lycra cover to save you !! I think they were in more danger of standing up sharp under that cliff overhang:) The bike was quite cutting edge at the time, suspension fork technology was still in its elastomer stages and...

sorry for late reply, having loft insulated and also got burgled so kit every where. Lost a nice bike too :(

cape warth Sorry about the last reply I had Antaeus in my head for some reason and you clearly say yours is a cape Wrath. Please ignore the irrelavent comments:) Cape wrath in 93 was black and the spectre had a deep purple irri coat over the top of the black ( actualy more expensive to do). In...

CB Cool bike! It is doing well. I see you have not got the original Flite spec saddle on it. You have an origianl embroidered selle bassano with the star trk type logo stiched in. They were not original on the Antaeus. they were eventualy dropped at the same time othe brands also found that the...

antaeus Here is the 1993 double page of the polished one. there was a magura eqipped 653 orange one from another year too, which do you have ? I have the cat with the orange one in too if you want a scan

pipe Made of unbranded plain guage steel on this model. Made in brigg though.

catalogue I have some wher in the loft. They later became dragon bikes made in vietnam. then went under as I recall. You can see a lot of their product in old TBG books they always had a section as I recall.

raleigh Very suprised to see the Raleigh badged bike. When this Claud was made this frame was made in the factory in Brigg. It was not contracted out or bought in from far east. The only way there could be a Raleigh version is a total copy( which I am unaware of from that time) or its a...

blue tack on the spindle:) and a piece of wire to support the bike then take it out with photoshop.

pics Thanks for the great coments on the bike, the photos were done at NM design in Brigg. I didnt want to spent the time I had on the bike and then shoot it myself badly. The piece betwen the gear and the frame gear manger is the gear stop. This mavic gear does not use the inbuild step in...
