Good read Paul, thanks for sharing. Is that a Raleigh Mustang with Pace RC30's?

ha ha, lol. No. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. I think the range went;

A green framed one - I had one of these as well and went through 3 pairs of forks.
Mustang - that was the purple one
THe one in my picture - this had 531 tubing rather than mustang pig iron.
There was one above that I think made out of 753 or was it 653.....

This is just before the Dynatech range came out I think.

I used to work in Yeovil Cycle Centre which was a Raleigh dealer so my early bikes were all Raleigh.

Orange71 - my mum still lives in Sherborne. I'm now in Leamington Spa - not much around in terms of good rides unless others know otherwise?

No, you're right, not much riding around Leam.

Has that Raleigh got a Girvin Rock Ring on it?

Ohhhh yes!

You should see the bars! they're the bar ends that essentially joined in the middle, a bit like 'W' shape.....

Not me but I think I heard the story through the CSL forum.

Nice story paul.

I remember you from Passionford a few years ago when you had the Escort Cosworth

good to see you have fallen into the bottomless pit of "just one more bike"
