    1993 Raleigh Peak - Restored and been on maiden voyage!

    I couldn't believe it when I saw it advertised on my local Facebook buy and sell group. I even knocked the price down from £35! Initial 2 minute check shows loose headset, gears not set up (corroded inner cables) and rear wheel needs slightly truing. It looks like it has only had light use and...

    Fitting 11/8" forks to my raleigh peak mtb
