EVEN MORE EXTREME

[77grifter]

Thought that title may help some looksies at my Raleigh Even More Extreme

I bought this at a car boot sale for £12!, its never seen much action, there's only the odd storage mark on it. If the wheels and chainguard are lined up correctly it reads Extreme. I will take this bike to bits over winter, thoroughly clean and re-lube everything

was that marketed as a kid's bike? Reminds me of a Huffy Sigma I use to have...when I 8

5'10.5" that .5 is important

I may let my boy ride it when he's a bit bigger, its so frigging close to NOS that I had to have it

Wonderful! That was my first proper bike when i was aged nine or so (20" wheels, right?), thanks for posting.

That looks immaculate. Not my kind of thing but what a bargain for a piece of nostalgia...off t hunt down a purple Raleigh Tomahawk

I always loved how they put those clip on 'discs' on the front wheel as well as the rear. Don't let your boy ride it in a crosswind! :shock:
My mate had one of those when we were kids, we were all jealous.

just so people know what I was talking about when I said Huffy Sigma:
