I found this rusty gem on the Seattle CL, and was surprised to find that it was actually located in Montana. I wasn't about to drive 20hrs round trip to get it, and was happy to hear that he would ship it. The frame has had an awful spray can paint job done to it, the seat is toasted (and off a stingray), they had to cut one of the grips off to take the handlebars off, and the goodyear rear slick is cracked all the way around. The good news is that the chainguard is in great condition. There is minimal rust on it, and you can still see a faint image of the decal. Hopefully Raleigh Ron has this particular decal in his collection. I had to have it, as this particular frame style can almost never be found around where I live (Vancouver, Canada), and I'm not planning on a restoration anyway. I really want to pimp it out and make it super unique, so I'll start a build thread when I get back from my vacation so you can follow its resurrection/evolution.
