Wanted Raleigh Appalachian Mountain Bike

[Exogen1]

Hi I am still seeking one of these. There was one advertised recently on ebay but unfortunately is no longer there. Can anyone give me information about them please.
What year were they produced and specification please. Does anyone have a brochure showing the model?
many thanks,

Here's the spec of the 1989 Appalachian. I'm not sure how many years they did the model for, maybe only a couple.

And here's one lovingly restored by forum member @DynaCol

Many thanks for the info. Was this taken from a brochure and if so can you give me a picture ofthe front cover so that I can look for one please.

It's in the archives here but unfortunately a couple of the pages, including the Appalachian pic, are missing

I'm sure I found another version of the brochure that included the missing image of the Appalachian, will try and dig it out when I get home.
Think they were only produced for a couple of years at most, 1989 for sure though.

1988 just had the Ozark and the Avanti in the 'lightweights' line up. I've found the missing pages from the 89 catalogue.....
