Spotted this on the bus heading into central Bangkok so jumped off at the next stop for a closer look ...A Japanese Araya Raleigh in 531db.


More Araya touring bikes inside, the Araya Federal is a good buy even at today's exchange rate £430..


Top of the range Araya Swallow, not bad for off the peg

Look too small for me as well.

A heavily used Trek. Nice racks and luggage. Shows you don't need a fancy bike to tour.

Rudge Pathfinder. Lamp bracket is on the wrong fork leg, it's a left hand bracket.
