Your first bike

I really wanted a BMX, but my Dad refused, saying it wasn't a proper bike. Since I couldn't have a BMX I decided I wanted the Raleigh Bomber but didn't get that either, eventually getting a beautiful white and Raleigh road bike (pearl white frame, red detailing). I would love to know what model that was: I remember it had maybe 4 inch long red mudguards that served absolutely no purpose at all. I ended up loving that bike: it wasn't as cool as BMXs at the time but it was sooo fast, I used to leave them for dust.

Anyone know where I may be able to find out what bike it was?
