I love this color!
I cant wait to get it polished up. Theres something about the colors on the Carlton Raleighs, I remember the red on a Supercourse MKII had the same luster.

You dog! Where did you get that thing? For all the International-bashing around here lately, I still love those them, especially that color. Also the green. Someday I will find a 25-inch one at a yard sale for, oh, I don't know, $50 or something. That's my plan, anyway, and I'm sticking to it.

I think that Raleigh calls it copper. Here's some burnt orange, my homage to Raleigh Copper:
It's a Mondia for my spouse. The color is Ford Orange Crush from a few years ago. Both Honda and Chrysler have had similar colors recently.

Yeah, that is my favorite color for the Internationals. It has a metalic base right? Really nice, i'd like to have one in my size some day.
Anyway, is it just me or did one of the factory workers place the downtube decal WAY up.

One of these is chained to a light post in my neighborhood sans the front wheel and the saddle, tempted to leave a note seeing if whoever wants to sell it.

Excuse me while I bust out my spectacles...
Having closely examined all the clues, I think you'll agree that according to all the visible clues in the photo - roughed-up hands, pedestrian checkered shirt, worn canvas shorts, aged leather saddle, ratty twined tape, and casual tennies with platform pedals - if we were able to zoom out on the photo, we'd find that this lust-worthy Raleigh International belongs to none other than...
...or maybe not...
