The Raleigh files

[pro"yellow sponge&]

Wow, I had the 450 as a frame/fork only replacement for my dads hand me down 1992 blue dyna-tech diablo.

I kept all the paper work, inc the warantee card, in the shed.
When I broke the frame by jumping it, dug it out and took it back to the same shop it was bought from, they sent it to raleigh, raleigh sent back the 450.

Unfortunatly sold it without building it.
Would like the origional back though, not broken

That's brilliant - thanks for posting this brochure. My RSP titanium MTB looks exactly like the one displayed, apart from the optional magura rim brakes and a slightly more restrained syncros ahead stem. see my gallery for pics...

How are the mighty fallen :cry:
This was an incredible range of bikes, Reynolds frames, Chris King headsets, Syncros, Crossmax, Boxxer forks
Take a look at the Raleigh range now - not so much Special Products anymore but made in Cambodia from whatever is on the factory floor :cry:
