Easy.
Thank you. Not sure if you're correct about the picture but more importantly you've helped me remember the bike I had 43 years ago in York.Raleigh Carlton Competition, 231/2
Black and white cable outers!
Can any CC'ers help indentify the bike pictured circa 1979?
It's a limited view,
Puch rings a bell, would that account for the reversed brakes?Puch?

I'd love to find what make/model it was. I've since checked & that's the only picture I have of the bike. I put cowhorn handlebars on soon after this, rode it for a couple of years until I got a moped. It was riiden to the pub one Sunday lunchtime circa 1982, I got lashed & the bike was put in an adjacent shed for safe keeping. I moved away got married had a family etc. Around 2005 I bumped into a former employee of the pub who told me the bike was thrown out when the pub/hotel was closed down & cleared in 2002.Oh I thought this was a quiz and you knew what the bike was. Lol
The bike looks a bit like a PUCH Alpine of similar model to me.
The standard setup for the UK is the front brake on the right. It’s the opposite in many other countries.
Although i know some people who prefer a right hand rear brake and set their bikes up that way In the UK.
Do a internet search for Puch Alpine and see if it looks familiar?I'd love to find what make/model it was. I've since checked & that's the only picture I have of the bike.

Nothing comes up in green on a search although stem & lugs appear similar.Do a internet search for Puch Alpine and see if it looks familiar?
What moped did you have?
