Recently picked this funky old klunker up for a song, was hoping it would scratch my mid 80s Raleigh itch and so far I'm happy to report that I'm very much enjoying it. Its an extraordinarily comfy dad bike, almost as if it as made to carry our child seat.
So far I've only thrown a rag over it and set the brakes up properly. Am planning to give it the full deep clean and regrease soon enough. Condition is very good, only pedals and grips aren't original as far as I can tell. I think it'll polish up very nicely.
Pretty certain its an '86' S' model. Pretty solid 15sp SACH Hurets gearing, happy to be told otherwise though.

I had one of these, the 12/15 speed version in the same colour (i forget now), an abysmal bike which i loved, quickly replaced with a Muddy Fox courier which was way too big, but without this bike, i still wonder if i would have made the choices i did.

Regardless it was part of my journey too, so enjoy.

:cool:
