A mix of good and bed memories for you then? This one is great, and pretty much all original too what is odd is the old tubes in it hold their pressure much better than the new tubes in my blue racer.
That is a beaut, I had a Raleigh Arena (I think?!?) with the exact same lights - my brother had the Raleigh Olympus. Both scrapped when my dad gave up his garage. Nice photos!
Mine had the 'large hubs' on the wheels which I particularly wanted. No idea why other than they looked cool. These went when it got bastardised.I took the mini mudguards off straight away.
Only time I seemed to pump the tyres up was when I had a puncture!
One on eBay at the moment and I'm really tempted.

At last!!! I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of the Raleigh I had back in the day. Raleigh Arena. Thanks. And seeing those pics EAD is really taking me back. The tiny mudguards that did sod all and those chunky lights. I'm getting all misty-eyed.![]()
