Raleigh the Red Nose Reindeer

[velociraptor]

A newbie to Retrobike having stumbled across it whilst researching a 1996 Univega 504 I ended up buying off ebay- pics to follow as it is in great nick. The purchase meant I had to retire my early '90s Raleigh Gritstone after many years and miles of sterling service. Binned the frame after stripping it down then felt so guilty I had to rescue it the day after, then transformed it into -
Raleigh the Red Nose Reindeer.




Have a great Christmas and hope to see y'all on a ride in 2014.

Thanks for the positive comments.
Am feeling v. old now after discovering that mountain bikes with suspension are considered retro- wasn't an option back in the day.
