The fuji is such a nice rider, but its the Fuji equivalent of my Voyageur II, and the Voyageur is never leaving my stable, lest by theft. I got it for 120, which is a deal considering the mighty comp, the v-gt luxe and the barcons. Its gorgeous, but I really want to build one really nice bike, and getting rid of the fuji allows me to do that.

The raleigh is one of the best looking production bikes ive ever seen. The box pinstriping is a really classy touch. The color is like nothing else ive seen. Its a midrange European model, imported via someone from france. So Its probably one of a handful on this continent. It rides quite well, and it has clearance for fenders, making it a rando-esque bike. 531 DB main tubes with chromo stays, 531 fork. Lugs are finished rather well.

My aim is to get rid of these 3 bikes, and build up a Sports Tourer with a bunch of braze ons and a TA triple.
