Good looking bso, makes it a survivor, did that make it worthy of saving?
Probably.
The steel rims should scrub up, the hubs might not have collapsed, and most of the gearing is basic shimano, so functional.
The Raleigh mustangs have quite a following

I suppose some people view the Austin Allegro as a classic!

These were the bike to have at my primary school. Until the Raleigh Activator 2 changed the playground game forever…

I think it looks cool, great paint job but not sure about the quality of the parts or what the frame is made of.
