    Blimey, not seen a Raleigh Marauder for about... 18 years I think. My older brother had one of those. Kids at school raved about them, but they were sh*t.
  • its so heavy but for £2 couldnt say no was going to singlespeed it but its so heavy

    The complete bike was really heavy so I was suprised how light the frame and forks were on there own. It's now my lightest bike :D

    Years ago I got a bmx from a police auction. Most bikes were going for less than £10. I had to pay £60 'cos this other guy was really wanting it too. He came up to me after and said he was bidding on it for his son. I almost felt bad until he explained that the Police had taken it off his son who had stolen it previously. I sold it 3 months later for £80 after breaking my leg at the skate park on it.
