it's been sitting at my LBS for a couple of weeks now and after a discussion
it was mine plus £20 for some drop offs i had lying about
its i think a raliegh yukon but as the paint looks a bit done in a shed
mebee its a fake :roll:
i might just rape it of the groupset as its quite un used tho it is 200 gs
as a comparison i dug out a low end dale from 91
the dale weighs about 23lbs the catalog weight for the raliegh is 31lbs
feels nearer 35 tbh
so what to do with it ?
ride as is
hot rod it in a velo white lightening style
break it
