Ahh... *sniffle*... the 94 Lava Dome. I probably have 10,000 miles on mine.

I think that Raleigh's quite cool.

Like the Klein esque paintjob. 'Cept it was probably pre 1990 Klein was it? (- Clearly as the title says '89! )In which case maybe Klein ripped off Raleigh?


The gorgeous '88 Stumpy in green/ pink had a Universal or Carrera or something that copied it the next year. Same colours but a bit darker.

Imitation is the best form of flattery.
