Late 80’s Raleigh Road bike (?)

[Jameshep]

Hi all,

Trying to find out the model of a Raleigh Road bike I had in the late 80’s. It was a sort of powder blue (forks and front of frame) and white, with white handle bar tape. Basic gears and brakes. I really don’t think it was an Equipe because of the colour but can’t find anything anywhere resembling my memory of it! Any ideas??? Thanks.

We're the downtube levers white plastic ?

I think the levers were shrouded in black rubber (where your hands would lean on to ride) and did not have the horizontal levers just the vertical ones.

I had a Raleigh Flyer, if I remember correctly was like you describe.
