    Do you do Voodoo!?!

    Hiya guys, are Voodoo now classed as British bikes, since Halfords bought the business, like vw bought Bentley, or bmw to rolls Royce, or classed as asian, due to manufac location, or american, due to origins?

    Raleigh Avanti 531

    yes that's right, but its only a 501 on the Ozark, the avanti had a 531 3 piece affair, I'm sure the maveric had the same fork. I did have a 501 on my thunder road as well. I don't know if it was me though. the thunder road, felt heavier than my 1985 maverick 15, maybe just the balance. how...

    Hiya :) ah yes, the purple are extra rare, same guy built it though, I'd recognise that cheeky little smile any where :) lol.
