it lives in France, so I can't nip and take a piccy!!!

It was an insurance replacement for my old ally Marin that got nicked and wasn't fully covered by the insurance, I ended up with £250 to replace a £900 bike (in the mid `90's) so Raleigh it was, and, to be honest, its been a great bike, I upgraded the group set before I collected it from the shop and it now runs on slics.

Raleigh ain't all bad, well, it wasn't then!!

Not my cup of tea at all but here's the Total Bike review for them (under the 'Juicer' name):
