  • Well finally some movement on this, bought on as much by the fact I have to start doing some cardio or I will not fit in any of my clothes, and the beautiful area we moved to has so many places to ride.

    A short walk and £40 later, I'm the proud owner of an as of yet unidentified Raleigh mtb. I'd always fancied a retro mtb project and this looks to be my size! I plan on riding around in the snow tomorrow, having had an absolute blast riding it home tonight.

    Medium term will be new:

    1. Saddle and seatpost Seatpost (if my spare doesn't work and this one isn't long enough
    2. Handlebars - can't decide on what kind, but the current ones are very narrow
    3. Slick tyres to allow use on the turbo, thinking tan wall city jets
    4. Pedals - can't decide on spd/flat combo or just some nicer flats.


    Longer term:

    1. SJS & wald combo
    2. mudguards
    3. dynamo

    Main priority is actually riding the bloody thing but honestly, thick snow and riding home in wellies like I was a kid again

  • Raleigh Outland! I recall it's usp were the bullhorn handlebars. Had one as a kid. Sticking a Michelin Wildgripper on the rear was my first branded upgrade. I cherished that tyre!

  • From googling it seems it was a lot of people’s first bike in the early 90s! Mine was a Raleigh of some descriptions, hand me down from a family friends kid, must have ridden it up and down my road thousands of times doing jumps off drop kerbs.
