Heh - that black Vektar predates the stealth fighter. Awesome!
I never knew they did them in black. Sweet!

"Hello is that Lockheed? - This is Raleigh's lawyer here - you've been served for patent infringement!"

Since this thread is all about small wheeled Raleigh bmx-esque bikes I thought steal the moment to share this pic my bro took of me in about 1980 of me [aged about seven] on my beloved Raleigh Boxer [the pov-spec version of the 'Strika'] in Elwick, County Durham after one of our unsupervised exploring rides. I'd never seen it till the other day. I love it - I'd forgotten how cool my Boxer was!

This being back in the days when kids just 'did' rides of 15 miles on a normal kids bike.
For fun - maybe take an apple and some ribena... Happy days




I still ride 349 wheels now!
Or perhaps they're 305s...
