Yes! can get a Blank for £170, was told by the dealer they are good. Haro's also but bit more money.

Yeah...just watch out he doesn't want to mod it to death once he get's it!

Small sprocket is good if you can get it as stock.

Try this.

If you order now, you can reserve for Christmas and collect a few days before from most stores. I sell a lot of these. Cro-mo frame and fork, gyro, 48 spoke wheels and lovely colour.

Looked at those, the lad wanted one but having read some of the reviews, decided to go for something else, besides the missus said she'd bung £50 towards it so I can go down the pub after all

Looking at a mongoose subject with 14mm back axle, smallish chainwheel and gyro stem for little more than the basic mongoose, sound any good Nobbylad?

Oh carp, just been looking up on some old school stuff, and it appears that the old Raleigh Andy Ruffle team burners are becoming quite collectable, even to the extent of one person mentioning that he saw one for a grand!.
Why did I give mine a Kona style paint job and end up selling it to a mate from college for £20 (he never did give me the money)

Raleigh even reissued them in 2007.
