Raleigh Teton.......CHROME.

[julesjunk]

Went to look at a 60's Schwinn (fellow RRB member) yesterday looking to treat myself for fathers day. Liked the Schwinn, but didn't want to give his price. Asked him what else he had. Said he just picked up a cool Mountain bike. Said I had NO interest in MB's. No......., you ought to look at it, he said. So I did. And I love it!! It's a little intimidating, it's so big. I need a step ladder to get on it. Raleigh Teton Mountain Tour. Like new in condition. Built sometime between 1985 and 89. I think it's an 89. Amazing.......
Anyone know anything about this line of bikes?

Regards,
Jules

Oh My. It's beautiful. Being a rather tall guy, I'm a sucker for large frame bikes.

I have a friend who's always on the lookout for tall bikes. Especially MB's. He's 6' - 7". Needless to say, even this bike wasn't tall enough for him, without an extra tall seat post. It would be a drag to be that tall, and have a love for bikes......

It looks like Raleigh's answer to the Schwinn Sierra, Though that one is much nicer! I love the bullmoose bars on that, just like my 10-speed.

I found one at a garage sale one time in my neighborhood.....exact same model...and it was tall too!

My guess is early 80s....probably an 83 or 84 model.

Has some nice ARAYA like wheels and the bull moose bars are cool too.

Yea, I feel like a little kid standing beside it. A friend of mine stopped by last night. Tall guy. And swapped me out of it........

[thatismytruck]

If I still lived in KC, I would have attempted the same thing.

[deorman]

I hope he swapped you something good, 'cause that was a great bike!

Cool goose neck.

Sweet!

would be good in a competition too because everyone else riding would get blinded and fall off their bikes
