Title: FarCanal
Post by: farcanal on May 25, 2018, 10:16 AM: Hey - First proper post..

Not a great collection - got an original Raleigh Boxer - Same as I had as a kid - unrestored but still looks and rides great, and a Raleigh Raider mini - unrestored and looking very sorry for itself in my shed and a mid school GT - not sure of origins as I got from the tip with the Raider a few years back...
