Raleigh Bomber 3-speed black - SOLD

[Kona Tone]

i had one when i was 12. loved it! i got the metal work teacher to weld up the freewheel to make it a fixed gear and could pull the longest wheelies and cycle backwards. the best bit was me and my cousin would each get on one side on a pedal each and ride it two up like a pair of pistons going up and down. it was hilarious!

Remember stuff like that and coming down the road past the playground straightened out one leg bobbing up and down like a circus trick everyone cheering. So when a smartarse pops in our work with a fixie I always pull this one out the bag for the kids I teach.....

Ps live round the corner, but don't have that kinda cash at present good luck with th sale : )

i never knew they had 3 speed ones. mine just had the one speed. was the first proper bike i had brought from halfords with my £3 a week from my paper round! took what seemed like forever to pay it off! it came to an end when we was stupidly using it as a marker when we was seeing how far we could jump off this mud mound on an old step through moped. my cousin got the very farthest but sadly landed on top of the bomber! i walked it home with a bent frame, nearly vertical forks and two smashed wheels. and i cried all the way!

Fabulous , had one of these in the 80's, non geared though, i was influenced by another local kid who had one, everything the other kids could do on thier BMX's this kid could do on the Bomber, (jumping off 1/4 pipes etc) he was the local hero

Best of luck with the sale
