Raleigh Team Banana

[GT-Steve]

Yep that's the other one I remember too, and definitely a Falcon then

I wonder, didnt raleigh make a reynolds tubed banana?

(theres a joke in there, but the enquiry is serious...)

 

[GT-Steve]

Yes they did, and it was the one that the pro's used to race on I suppose??? I remember seeing one once, but the price was about 5 or 6 times that of the one I had....

quick look around ebay has revealed this falcon one:

Interesting...

Id only be tempted by a raleigh one though... And actually would resist the temptation as I have too many bikes as it is...

weinmann, no suicide levers on mine, mine was as it left the shop.

I played swappsies for a Kona frame

The more expensive Raleigh one had 531c frame and Shimano 105.

What, even on the 'pro' version??? I seem to remember them being silver ano rims.... (tho I may be wrong ) surely the pro's back then would've revolted at the mere idea of running chromies.. :roll:
