In terms of waht model it is, sorry cannot help you there. It looks in resonable condition and im sure would make any young land chuffed to ride. It will never be worth big bucks, sadly they never equipped them with high end parts and many were sanctioned to the scrap heap as fashions and trends changed.

It's cleaned up really well and all works fine.

Hi there, just picked one of these up myself (Sept 2023!!) It's an 'Air Raid' model, but not sure on the year. It also has 'Chicago' on the down tube? My one is cleaning up nicely and should be ready to ride soon.It has a Moore large and co sticker and a E ll sticker . Has a unique looking sprocket with numbers on it.
Anyone know anything about it ?
Thanks
Correct Emmelle = M L Moore Large in house brand. Worked for them in the early 2000's John Moore was one of most respected blokes in the industry and always had time for people. RIPRe: Re:
