What do a Giant and two Raleigh's have in common?

They all came home with me today

My brother was cleaning out his garage and called and said come get 'em or they are going to the thrift store!

So here they are: 1985 Raleigh Record, 1990/91 Giant Excursion (I now have two) and a 1991 Raleigh Tactic.

None are in excellent condition but for the cost of half a tank of gas who cares.

The Raleigh Record has Nitto Albatross bars on it. That one is probably going to get converted to a city bike for my son with an IGH hub and dyno/drum front.

The Excursion is going to get cleaned up and see what kind of overall condition it is in.

The Tactic? Who knows...
