The bike is BIG - I didn't have a measuring tape but I'm guessing a 24" frame?
Some downers on it - and why I think it was so cheap (under $100): someone removed the gear shifer so it's a fixed speed. Someone cut out a 1/4 of the back fender(!). And if it is a "Boss-Bike" then that big beautiful chain guard I saw in photos is also missing.
ANY help/info on this would be appreciated.
This might actually be one of the first times I've been able to help with one of these ID requests. I'm pretty sure its a 1985 Raleigh Mountain Tour Teton model.
Catalogue is here: (specs on final page)
