Raleigh Peak / Dune Dancer

[sharpylad]

Does anyone know where I can lay my hands on either a Raleigh Peak or a Dune Dancer? Used to have a peak back in the good old days and loved it till some thieving bu@*#r nicked it.
As for the Dune Dancer I can't even find anything written about them, I am sure they came before the peak but they were pretty rare I think??

could sell you a summit frame ,same thing i think

 

[sharpylad]

Yes they the same but want the blue frame really, cheers anyway.

Summit was the model up from the Peak, frame was identical apart from the paint though

I have had a Peak from new in 1992 when the range first launched, it's currently in use as a commuter, check the link in my signature

Thats the baby!! Those original pics are great, had already seen them when trawling tinternet, I had the same problem with the frame but only had to replace it once and got palmed off with a purple one, looked like a mirage or maybe the later peak model. Anyway, What size frame is yours?

 

[Analog Kid]

It's a 19", I think later Peaks were Pink which was the colour of the Apex originally, I think the Ravine may have been purple.

 

[sharpylad]

Thanks for the info, if you ever think of selling give me a shout.

the summit's purple

the dune dancer was green
think the moonrun was purple or dark blue

I think the Ravine may have been purple.

Yes, a sort of bluey lilac. I had one BITD, loved it.

You've made my day - my first serious bike was a Peak, then my best mate & riding buddy bought the later 'Orange' framed Peak. Oh how I ribbed him it was Salmon Pink...! :twisted: It was as if translucent pink had been painted over the orange. He'd get so angry he turned the same colour!

Wish I rode as much now as I did then...

Hey, AnalogKid, if we cross paths at any rides, I'd love five minutes alone with your Peak...? :shock:
