I had one of these in 97-98 with Raleigh branding and if I remember correctly the model was just Titanium. It was a good ride but came to an unfortunate end with a crash that cracked a weld from the BB to chain stay. It was repaired but cracked again in the same place later.

I’ve built my beastie up.
It’s a preliminary build just to get the thing rolling and it’s a beautie.
Really direct handling and with tubs at 120psi you could feel a flattened fleas fingerprint.
I’m going to ditch the STI’s in favour of down tube shifters but the frame has (factory?) chamfered spacers glued on and all of my Shimano levers sit proud of the frame as if there should be another spacer - I’ve never seen anything like this.
Ideas, anyone??
My mate has some Corima 4-spokes which, combined with the black, grey and yellow camo bar tape that I have would give it a really distinctive look. But I do like the subtle classiness of how it looks at present too.

A couple of these might do the trick?.
