Just curious.

Hey sauze, I saw that one too. I did a quick search and found that without pics, its hard to determine which Team USA it is. Apparently there are a couple versions, but didnt search long enough to figure out the differences. Trading him for a violin or guitar?

haha I wish I had one to trade him. This thread has some relevant info. It seems like the high-end Raleighs of that era went < Team Professional 555RSL < Team Professional 531c < Team Professional 753. So not quite the TOP of the line.
