Raleigh 853

[Matt_wood55]

First foray into the retro mtb world for me (normally road stuff). Got this one as it matches its Raleigh road equivalent which is now build up. Apparently never ridden like the road frame

Knowing nothing, I like the look of the Pace RC35 forks. Can’t wait to get started

Looks a nice frame, possibly custom made? Enjoy the build, should result in a very nice riding bike!

Very nice! As well as the usual mass market dross Raleigh were making some very nice, very usable frames in that era. Their 4130 Max Cromo frames are a favourite of mine, much under the radar. Looking forward to see what you do with this wee beastie.
