TEAM RALEIGH a build inspiration

[bobbbbsy]

sheesh.. some nice builds there . that xl is GOOD looking !!

so much for the old men at sturmey archer telling raleigh uk that bmx's were a fad hence the late start here ! 

[factory pilot]

You've made my Sunday afternoon mate
Top stuff
I loved all that US Raleigh stuff bitd....used to drool over any pics adverts in Bmx Plus as a kid.....loved that stuff cos it was so different.
Love all those builds dude...exceptional work indeed

Great builds there.

Love that cruiser Glynn - think that is my favourite, but also really love the gold and chrome raleigh racing bike as well. All of them are stunners though 

[750Rush]

I hadn't appreciated you had the whole collection like that Glynn. You and Julian should get your bikes together and start a Raleigh musem next to a track with some riders for folk to take round LOL!

Only just seen this thread , great post Glynn 

Stunning collection of bikes mate

I have to echo Southern Andy's comments too .... 'one of RAD's finest bike builders' , attention to detail and the research you do is always spot on .

Great Builds 

I should get my finger out and build this 

[Glynnyboy]

Yeah you really should.
The fs is a rare beast I think I have only seen a couple of these.
One popped up for sale on the museum early this year complete.
It was in great condition, I looked again less than an hour later and all trace of it had been removed.
I was kicking myself for not at least saving the pics of it.
Yours is the only pic I have, I got it from someone else's post and never knew who owned it.
I was chasing copies of those brochures for ages too.
I managed to get photo copies from a couple of great guys over on vintage and have since managed to source them, although my 83 is the complete catalogue not only the bmx brochure.

I've had it for ages aswell  i bought it from a guy called Greg Chermack(i think) in the states ,it came with the brochures ,the pics dont show it,but its a blackened chrome,at least you know where i am if you need any info from the brochures now  ,you must have seen it on Rb.com i posted some pics up ages ago

Nice collection and history lesson. 

[Picklez]

Wow, great thread, great read - thanks.

All classics, I'm sure I'll be back to this thread a few times yet.

That's a quality line up.

i owned this frame for a short while a few years ago but sadly never got to build it, due to my divorce it was sold along with most of my collection.
i sold it to someone on the burner forum so at least its still in the UK.
i didnt have a clue about it when i bought it off US ebay but liked the look of it so hit the button.
its stiil the only raleigh frame style i like and wish i never sold it
