Very special to me because my first serious MTB was a 1993 M Trax 400, very similar to this, but which I trashed over a period of 3 years very hard riding on Dartmoor.
Bought recently from another member here (Stevegaunt), the bike has been well looked after, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the bike has almost all original parts, including grips, tires and Diacompe brake pads in good condition. A couple of changes I'll need to make before riding will be fitting SPDs, replacing the Dynatech seat post with a longer one, and maybe retiring the nylon bladed Diacompe brake levers.
And a pic from today's ride on my other Raleigh, in Plymbridge Woods and Cann Woods. Overall, this bike is now the favourite of my collection, due to its wondrous ride qualities. The Ti / cro-mo frame, together with the steel stem and seat post, the Ti bar and the steel ULGI forks, make for a reasonably comfortable ride. I wish I could take it with me back to Portugal next week, but alas, I'll have to make do with my Diamond Back Apex until my next visit to the UK.
