How much does it cost to Oldham?
Glued Ti if I remember rightly. Probably had light use if it hasn't already fallen to bits. I'd avoid personally.

My worries exactly.
My Dad had a 1995 Cromoly frame one which got pinched from the back yard (over a 10 ft wall !!!) Suprisingly the police recovered it a few months later in a raid on a flat near us. It was unused and still in good nick, but the decals had been removed.
I rode it for a short time, when I started commuting on a bike, but it was too much of a bone shaker on the (then) unsurfaced route

Good bike if you're light; Won't last long otherwise.

Asked the question about titanium but no answer as yet I can see that it is 26speed and has rock-shok forks if that helps .

RS Forks ??????
Do you have a pic
Trouble is - Raleigh called just about every "mountain bike" they made M-TRAX.
Here's one that was like the one I had (my Dad's orginally) in colour although it was steel not a titanium like this.

Is that a full size bike ? It's looks like a 24 inch wheel from the pic (or is that what you are after?)
It's a much later model that I suspected - what are they asking for it ?
Just to add to that - it looks like an m-trax 200 with RS Indy S Forks

the seller sent this messageIt's not titanium , it's aluminium frame with Weinmann rims on R.S.P sealed hubs. It is very light on weight not sure would think about 12 to 15 kilos

I'd have it for that price. Go for it and enjoy. Check the tyres aren't all perished before you start battering it.
