Raleigh M TRAX 2000 Collected today

[Spiderweb]

it is 191/2" from centre of crank to top of seatpost and he is asking £100

A 19 1/2" frame may be a bit big at 5ft 7".
I'm 5ft 8" and have a few MTB's, 17" frame is the biggest I have.

If you were a collector of Raleigh bikes (or retro-forks) then it may be of some interest. Although it is late 90's and not that rare

Looking at eBay i can see a few have gone for around the £100 mark, but if you are not looking for nostalgia or to collect, there are better bikes that go for the same sort of money

It's is green though - which makes it awesome

I'll offer him £75 and if he accepts l'll take it warts and all...if not l'll keep looking

£75 sounds good.

If those forks are in good working order you could get most of that back selling them to the retro-guys.

Nice one . I like the looks of it from the picture you posted.

Wait till you start pulling skids and wheelies as that will make the inner teenager come out of you

Good for the price. Turn the front wheel around, the tyre is directional and is facing backwards in the pics...

 

[Threevok]

Very nice catch there after all.

Well done

You can position the QR independently of the tyre direction...
