nothing short of stunning, a Raleigh Mustang

[Racin'snake]

Steve, whoever you are and wherever you are (Peterborough I assume), to you sir I doff my cap. Nothing like a purple 'stang to brighten Christmas and ensure a happy Boxing Day when that first pedal slip causes a heavy nad/stem interface due to having a 25" frame. And being 13 and 5'3".

My first rode on Christmas Day of my new Raleigh Marauder resulted in hospital with a broken pelvis from privates hitting the stem. I rode into the back of a car!

I bet the car was in a state....those things are made of pig iron!

In order to apologise for sneaking my rather off topic Raleigh blueridge into the thread I just wanted to share this with all the early eighties steel lovers amongst us.
