mtb raleigh sheer
- Thread starter onza18
- Start date
Its a raleigh USA technium - about the same vintage as my 1992 PEAK - I don't know where the sheer fits in the range but the frames we all the same easton E9 bonded.
They ride really well - cool frame like the colours too
edit - try this link - its a 1991 raleigh catalogue on here - scroll down to the USA techniums. Your sheer isn't listed.
I would also post it on the show us your dyna tech thread - there is a chap on there who used to work for raleigh in the uk and will likely be able to help you.

Not quite - the Sheer used C9 as well as E9.
Just to be pedantic...
I don't have a catalogue though I'm afraid.

Found this on MOMBAT:

1992:
'The Sheer takes over the top spot combining Easton C9 carbon fiber and E9 aluminum which is bonded to cold forged lugs and Cro-moly stays. Components are the Shimano Deore XT with a Rock Shox Mag 20, XT clip-less pedals and an Aheadset. The Peak goes to a full E9 main frame with a threaded aluminum rigid fork, Deore XT parts and XT clip-less pedals. The Chill uses the Shimano Deore DX group with a rigid fork and E9 frame (also available as a Police Edition). The Heat rounds out the Technium line with a 6061 T8 frame and a Shimano Deore LX/DX mix. The Tangent, Crest, Talon, Summit and Glacier make up the steel offerings.'
Looks like it is top of the range with added carbon fibre goodness - very nice - enjoy it!
