Finally please include a link to your machine in the relevant Reader's Bikes section. If you don't have an existing post now is the time to add one with as much detail as you like!

Re:

Dynacol's 89 Raleigh Appalachian

Of all the bikes i've built so far this is my favourite, always wanted a 531 Raleigh BITD when I was riding my Raleigh Mirage and now finally got one. Put a lot of effort in to getting this the way I wanted it including re-creating the decals myself (printed by H Lloyd cycles). Full details in the build thread below (in my signature).
Cheers,

Col

I'll throw my hat in this month.

Actually the colour scheme is the much cooler sounding "Brighton Rock" according to the 89 catalogue

Noooo!

Don't go - just having a flashback to Never Mind the Buzzcocks and the intro round, and somebody trying and failing to do the intro to Yazoo's "hit".

I love the Raleigh - and your avatar is cool.

Actually it was a mindless post, due to be totally overwhelmed by seeing a complete black conquest.

p.s Love is the answer you know that for sure.
