Hi, here is my 1984 raleigh winner, which i have owned from brand new, after much hard work, the old gal is back on the road :top: new rear axle and bearings, new pedals, NOS top tube decal, front and rear brake blocks, front brake cable and cable adjuster and plenty of elbow grease! she has come up quite well, had a spin around the park tonight and was surprised how well this bike goes! here are some pics, hope you like.....      |

 Well, they do come up now and again (seen some nice ones recently) and luckily they dont fetch mega money so go grab a bargain!

swapped my old record sprint for a set of repro schwinn springers, don't regret it at all- the gearing was too low for me- you whizz off fast, but top out quickly.
