Is it a Titanium model ?

I will ask the seller and get back to you asap

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.

ok this the bike

 

[Threevok]

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

ok this the bike

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

A bit more info about me ....l am into 1980s Italian steel road bikes Moser , Faggin and the like. l know ddly-squat about mountain bikes but l live in an area of france which is covered in forest and mountain trails so l thought "why not"

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