Raleigh Freestyle - Where, when and what is is ??

(1/3) > >>

blgdave:
Hi Folks,

Just bought this on an impulse, due to being real cheap...





Has anyone got a clue of where it came from, when, and how many there are out there?
I see its on bmxmuseam website and one other person has one, but no other word than that?

I can go out and get the frame number if that helps anyone?

Its obviously a dooer-upper

Cheers
Dave...

ask Glynnyboy  ;)

but the head badge looks re-riveted maybe  ??? they seem a little big  but it could due to being a US one

blgdave:
The badge is pretty thick, the rivets look old but I did think they looked a bit suss??
I have found two other bikes online, but no info. One in New Zealand and one in Canada.

There's a thread dedicated to Raleigh freestyle over on Burnerworld  :)

Glynnyboy:
Can we see some pics of yours ?
I know the pics you posted here are of the museum find in new zealand.

The bike owner has since built this and it's now blue.

As far as i know this is the only one to turn up.
The other in the guys thread looks similar but not the same dropouts.
We haven't seen any info spring from NZ and the guy doesn't have any history so it looks like this is the only one so far.
Nice though.
