I mean... just LOOK at this thing. It had a Raleigh IGH, so 3 speeds and a sort of over drive. Apparently it was indestructible too.
This was my ride aged 10-13 (after that I got a Dawes Galaxy). I remember it unfondly as being extremely hard to ride (I mean, tiny wheel, huge crank), given the gears went: Hard *clunk* Harder *clunk* Impossible. Still for the time it looked cool. I probably would have loved it more if it wasn't a hand-me-down from my brother like everything else I got until I could afford to pay for my own bikes.
