Here are some photos of my crusty, faded out find







It's got all the original Raleigh branded Suntour stuff with the Weinmann concave rims and Panaracer Touring 700X28 tires that are degraded to the fraying threads. Pumped to 20 PSI just as roll-arounds, the 700X28 looks suspiciously the same size as my 25c Paselas on another bike.
Serial number is WN8001474, meaning (from what I can gather) that it's built in Worksop in October, 1978, and was the 1474th one built that month. Happy birthday! It's 34.
