Actually having nearly all the bits takes some fun out of the chase..

Ha! I am the friendly windermere bike mechanic..! Cheers for the heads up on the forum - have since spent a lot of time looking about, and have discovered that another of my old bikes seems to be rare - a yellow and blue raleigh 'team' mtb. I'd not realised it was special! Am in the process of...

After a fruitful search in the barn I have located nearly all of it! xcd 6000 gears, wheels, seat, pedals, bars and stem, cranks, levers, even one original and rather cracked tyre. Just missing one set of canti's. and the stickers. And probably a few little bits. Have even found the original...

Well, after it sitting in the barn for too long, and me discovering this forum I think I have found the enthusiasm to rebuild a ride from my youth. The story so far.. About 14 or so years old I was quite proud of my bike, a Raleigh Mtb, team banana I think. 531 steel frame, as was the fashion in...
