I'm confused...............Raleigh and Dream in the same sentence??????? :LolLolLolLol:
Great pics Mike :daumenhoch:

Ok, iam going to expose Raleigh they gave me only only one bike, i think in total i had about two bikes off them.. Never thought much about headsets to be honest. As you can see from the pics i was running one piece and flight cranks (i borrowed off a mate) I designed a bike for them and ruffell came in and they gave him everything..Iam not bitter!!!
They paid me £1200 per year to ride the bike and gear. Hutch was a better deal through Shiner but i was on my way out at that point..
So there ya have it, we did make from demos which was good and pull some birds so it has its compensations... >:D

Yep, you were always well known down in the Bristol area.
Thats pretty cool air out of the performance bowl, particularly for your first day there.
