Raleigh Pioneer 2

[249ccjames]

I’m looking for help on my Raleigh Pioneer 2. I bought it 6 months ago intending to cycle camp, but at 6 foot I need to be 2 inches shorter for that to work, so it has to go. Pity because it’s a cracking bike. Here are some codes I’ve taken off the machine. What attracted me about the bike was its lightness, and I guess that overcame my reservation about size. Are there technical specs that you can identify? I’d like to think it’s a strong lightweight with plenty of years left in it. Is it a 1991 model shown by the serial number? I have more pics if required, and thanks for help.

18"! You'd need to be about six inches shorter. Get out and find another, eBay and Gumtree are awash with them.
I should hand on to this one untill you get another and swap over the front wheels to retain that hub dynamo.
Wonder who put that suspension fork on ?
I'm sure @SkipdiverJohn will comment.
