Super Boring Mid 80's Raleigh Maverick

[MartinYorkshire]

Boring how dare you

I love mine to bits, and I am am rather taken by yours.Looks completely original too I rode 40 miles on mine last weekend and in the rain too ! and it didnt miss a beat, Its my fav retro ride atm,

I am going to ride it at Mayhem next month for a laugh and yours would be even more of a laugh with side pull brakes, Just think of the buzz passing modern bikes on that ............ bring it on !

Thats great! Yes its entirely original to the best of my knowledge. If parts on it are not stock, they are period for certain. It even has a side stand for that "biker dude" look when you pull up outside the pub making verbal revving noises.

I know this isnt the place to ask, but does it actually have any value at all? I might end up selling it soon as Im running out of space. Are we talking value of a packet of space raiders or perhaps upmarket McCoys?

Surely not Flamin' Hot Monster Munch territory....

I've just sent you a PM about levers

My 15 speed Maverick was in a poor state, rusted through in places

So when an offer of a 5 speed Bomber frame and forks came up I thought I'd swap everything over.
I'd already ditched some narrow bars for some renthals a while back

It looked like this

but now looks like this
