I acquired this 1995 Rafty Funnel in 2002. From than on it had been my 'roadbike' before I started riding and collecting roadbikes.
Some will remember the Rafty from OWMTBC in Wales in 2010. I brought it with me and used it for both the event and rides with Neil, Ed, Marcin, Pierre, Kean through London and Manchester. Great times.
Back in Holland I parked the bike away and didn't touch it for now almost 4 years :roll: A couple days ago I decided it was time to enjoy some miles with the radical Rafty again. First thing to do was a polishing to bring back the original bling aluminium shine. So I did. Ready to go![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Squarish tubing for the tail >>
The frame is custom built by Edward Hagen in Haarlem, The Netherlands. Another Dutch boutique item: the machined ALPA/Footwork stem.
