Can you IDENTIFY this Raleigh?

Hi there, the bike you have there is a 1994 Raleigh Exodus, from memory they retailed for about £275 and were top of the standard Raleigh mountain bike range. Generally the same spec as the slightly cheaper Amazon model but with the Girvin flex stem. I think they were specced with the Shimano Altus c15 group set and built using raleighs own cromoly lugged frame set.(not reynolds).

hope this sheds some light.

Thank's so much Andy!
This basically seals its fate as I was naively hoping to have made a bargain.
Even as a beater-bike I would probably want a more "special" bike and upgrading this with better
parts won't do it.
