Well that was 15 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

In my shed I have a recently acquired Nishiki Activator with God sticker as he spent some time with them etc. now he is definitely dead so we can’t ask.

Started well and with good intentions,escalating quickly and then leaving us on a cliffhanger.

Has judge Judy retired?

Has judge Judy retired?

I think she was appointed Supreme Court Justice under the Trump administration

So...do Raleigh Aliens exist or not?!?

I guess you never really believe untill you see one yourself. I've seen 3 so far.
Mines is one of two that I've seen in the states, this is a UK bike. Made in Nottingham England Extremely rare in America. 3rd one I saw was sold in Hungary just a week before I found the ad. Last few pics compare my bike to the Hungary bikes paint job... Exactly the same paint job just different splatter.
Now can we finally give this thread a rest?

I watched a series on tv once.. late at night.. Shaun Ryder was day-tripping around the countryside, hooking up with folks who've spotted aliens over the years to compare stories.. often in the chip shop, I'm sure Quest or one of those chanels who make programs men would like, would be open to Bez tracking down a number of Raleigh's.. I might pitch it to them

I found it interesting there was no mention at all of Norco in the Wiki
history of Nishiki. Isn't there some sort of link between the two? I always
considered Nishiki to just be a high end Norco. They shared model names etc.
Thoughts?

Hey! Just picked up Relaigh Alien in Latvia. Guy who sold it to me said he bought it in Germany 15 years ago. If anyone has digged up any more information on it please share. Has seen some use, but in great condition. Came as complete bike. Some Shimano LX parts in the groupset, that could be from the original setup?
