Skip find. Apparently quite rare and certainly interesting; lugged steel frame with fat 26" wheels, bullhorn bars and 2x5sp drivetrain. Dating from the mid-1980's; apparently Raleigh's stab at a mountain bike before mountain bikes were really a thing.
This one appears complete although is extremely tatty. Headliners are much corrosion and flaking paint on the frame; the worst being on the chainstays and back end of the top tube. Most bits that are supposed to move don't - wheels turn, think the BB is OK but the chain is seized pretty much solid, as is the freewheel and front brake.
Definitely a ground-up, bare-metal, nut-and-bolt resto if you're brave enough; potentially a source of bits if you already have one.
The top tube measures around 58cm c-c, the seat tube around 56cm centre-top.
Free for collection from Botley, Oxford OX2. Need this gone ASAP so if you're interested don't be shy.
I dragged this out of a skip, for about a mile and up a bloody big hill to appease the demands of CC - so don't leave me holding the bag please
