MacRetro Rider
Decided on my steed for the 8th june. The bike will be..............................Drum roll.......................
Raleigh White Lightning
For those who say a Raleigh what !?!
I was informed by the Gurus on this site that its a 1989 XC Race bike made of Reynolds 653.
I've built it up in far from original but at least period spec and it rides brilliantly so I'm thoroughly looking to blitzing Glentress on it.
However for those of a delicate constitution I advise dark glasses in its presence as it has a trully lurid colour scheme of Dayglo pink overlaid onto dayglo orange overlaid onto white with bright graphics. I will be imediately recognized by my bike alone !!!!!!
I even refitted cantibrakes which I removed from virtually all my bikes back in 1996 when shimano produced the M600 V-brake. Braking requires a deal more planning now but I've not wrapped myself around a tree yet !
Oh happy days.........
