Raleigh Ozark vs Avanti question

[Mark south wales]

There age is, my first ever, proper mountain bike. Where it began for me. Where did it stack up in the hierarchy?

I think it was mid range, they wa expensive at the time, even a standard maverick, was a months wages

guys, what paint options were on the avanti and ozrk

The Ozark had at least three paint schemes. White to red fade, red to black fade and an orange-yellow-white fade which I think was a mid-year scheme before the new bigger lugged rage replaced them.

Avanti - a white to turquoise fade, a black to speckley grey/white, and a yellow/black Team Banana scheme ..... any more?

hmmm, think I might go with the avanti blue to white, might even go maverick pto colours, the black to gold

yup hunting for a sakae roller pulley, but a nice one, is like hens teeth not going original spec though will go suntour xc pro instead of deore xt2, stuff is way over priced for what it is... got suntour on my mt4 and I think it runs way smoother than Shimano exage of the time.
