Everyone knows about the classic '70s and before Raleigh Grand Prixs.

This is not about them, but a whole other Raleigh Grand Prix. Probably Raleigh USA, 7 cogged cluster, fitted in Suntour Radial,

6061-T8 Aluminum Tubing, back chain and seat stays paint chipped.

I don't believe the frame is bonded like a Technium, it may be welded, I got some pictures but they were not real clear.

Blue color.

I thought at first, maybe it was like a Technium but now, I don't quite think so. Also, I wonder if Aluminum in some cases loses it's vibrancy or wears out in some cases.

This is a first post so please take it easy, however, I've used these forums often for a reference and in that regard, they are splendid. But there are no pictures on the internet of this bike. There is very little on a 1990ish Raleigh Grand Prix. I didn't want to push the seller too much on the issue of which I'd have to take a decent drive to personally look at the bicycle.

Honestly folks, this must be so obscure that it either does not exist or is a rare product.

I do know, they made others besides the tensiled steel ones we all love.
