Just wondering if anyone knows much about 'bonded frames' My lbs has about 20 limited ed. raleigh frames that uses bonded technology. Something to do with glue, I'm not too sure. Anyway they are sweet looking frames.

Also he has a Raleigh pursuit bike (very limited edition) were talking an insane sloping top tube and runs 24" on the front. But it is beautiful. It's the one with the banana graphics on the top tube. Everything except the wheels for around £300.

Sorry no pictures yet, thought it might of been cheeky to start taking photos of his stock.

edit: After abit of google searching the frame is a Raleigh Dyna-tech 531, sloping top tube.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
