    I am one lucky sunofagun, i have just been GIVEN this bike. I'm told by a raleigh chopper fan i know that its a 'cruiser', (useful huh?) not made by raleigh, but I have no idea how to identify it, there are no logo's no frame numbers, nothing, all I know is it came in a 'flat pack' possibly as recently as 2004,its all a bit vague really, but I love it and I'm stripping it down already to go get her powder coated.
    Anyone out there recognize the model? the Manufacturer? I'm all googled out I've come up with nothing.

    My friend has just had his mountain bike stolen in kingston town center.
    It is a whyte 905 hard tail, with a white frame and black forks size large, with a hope rear hub x314 rims armadillo tyres and xt pedals, if anybody spots this please let me know, he only got it a couple of weeks ago and is absolutely gutted.

    I know its not fixed but i really feel for the guy, if anyone can help that would be awesome!

    looking pretty lovely! white components are definately the way to go - though your running the twin rail tyres - i've always assumed they instantly become a shade of grey when they hit the road?! my pink and green did...

    they 'aint no twin rails, not at that price!
    They are white zaffiro pro's (highly recomend) they do go a bit grey till it rains then they go white again till the next day, shrugs

    The only problem is that making your bike nearly entirely white makes it look like a ghost bike.

    But your choice.

    I maintain that white chains are a stupid idea - when the paint chips off a quick wipe with a rag won't fix, trust me.

    Been running mine now for about 6 months, barely a chip on them. :)

    I am a dave and I can tell you the answer is YES, it is, me and the other guy who rides at work (not called dave though) both had shitty rides this morning due to people trying to kill us to death with cars.
    its the rain I think.
