This is what I picked up last year for about $55. A Raleigh Mountain Tour Rocky. I can't find much info on it online, but i've seen a few online all from Canada. Everything was original when I bought it and it hadn't seen much use. The date codes on the front and rear derailleurs are from 1984. I've since replaced most bearings and re-greased everything, added Schwalbe Big Apple tires, a Crane brass bell, Velo-Orange fenders, moved my comfy Brooks B67 over, installed fresh brake pads. The old 6-speed suntour freewheel had a lot of loose bearings in it so i replaced it with a sunrace 6 speed freewheel. I added a 28 tooth chainring on the front so I can actually climb hills in this thing. I just installed a rack and panniers that I purchased from Mountain Equipment Co-op. Itching to replace the foam grips with something nicer.
