Re: Raleigh m-trax ti 1000 rare
Nice bikes these were. Shame it's too small for me.

Re: Raleigh m-trax ti 1000 rare
Listen, I can't stand folk using words like rare when it's not.
Mine is XTR, Gripshift, Hope/Mavic, Middleburn, Answer and Flite equipped and I wouldn't say it's rare or even valuable - it's the one that the kiddie seat and trailer attach to.
I paid £10 for mine and it had a better spec than this one....
Sorry to rain on your parade and I love mine (I've had it for almost 8 years now and it's what got me here) but rare it isn't!

Re:
Tragic that they don't sell for a lot more. But look - a newbie ad with the spec and decent, drive-side photos, price... A rare treat!
Size (the measurement from the centre of the BB to the top of the seat tube is pretty standard) and location would make it even better
Hope it finds a happy home!

Re:
Honestly Hward I'd be surprised if anyone here will buy it, for no other reason than if they wanted one, then they probably already have it.
I can see an almost mint m trax 2000, the next model up on ebay at the momment for £80 so if I may suggest? Your best bet would be somewhere like gumtree or the local papers and advertise it around the £75 mark http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-M-Tra ... 3aaeffb382
As to the rare comment, I think we sometimes forget our hobby isn't everybodies and something that might be a bso (bike shaped object) is a perfectly good working and able bike to others
I hope it works out well and good luck with your sale

Re: Raleigh m-trax ti 1000 rare
I think it's a little unfair to sneer at the specs of this bike. In terms of performance, I don't think it's really any worse than an STX or LX equipped M Trax Ti, and is probably a better bike than the more common 90s cromo-framed, entry level groupset MTBs many of us here also ride.
The main selling point is the frame itself, perhaps also the handlebar (which I think would have been titanium too), and when ridden the bike I would expect to feel just about identical to Ti 2000 or Ti 3000, if only slightly heavier and without the smugness (in my case at least) that comes with having a high end model, XT/XTR, etc.
good luck to the OP with his sale.
