Recommend a vintage Raleigh

[Mark Manley]

I am looking for a UK made vintage Raleigh mountain bike frame and was wondering if members could recommend one, I am after a lightweight steel hardtail frame with a sloping top tube and an 1-1/8" stem, disc braked would be good but not essential and not vertical dropouts.
Just a model name to look for would be good but if someone has a frame, frame set or complete bike I might be interested, I am looking for something with a top tube of 52-54cm and a seat tube of 44-48cm or there abouts, paintwork or cosmetics are not important.

vintage... ... disc braked ... ... and not vertical dropouts.

Not entirely sure all those words go in the same sentence :twisted:

That is the conclusion I am coming to, it looks like I might need a chain tensioner as I plan to use a hub gear or just stick with the Surly Troll frame I would like to replace with something older.
