I'm from Nottingham, rode for Trent Valley CRC back in the day and I approve of this video!
A certain top? amateur in the 1980's trained exclusively on one of these, never lucky enough to ride one, but I am butchering a touring bike with a new paint job to emulate. Brill. Loved stripping the bike down once a month, meditating.
I heard that the later pro models were built at their Ilkeston site.

Had one of these as a kid. Really didn't know what the second hand bike that I had was back then but every morning passing the neighbors tire aggressive chow/lab mix was an easy task... thanks Raleigh 😊

Absolutely beautiful bike . Thanks for taking the time to make this . Both my bikes are vintage and could never be replaced. Raleigh and shogun, old but never let me down 👍👍👍

Beautiful bike and what a great job restoring it. Video well put together as well. Love watching something like this.

Currently doing the same on a mid 80s Panasonic DX 3000. A good cleaning, replace any worn parts, build back up, and pedal away! great video!

Joop Zoetemelk was the best roadracer from Holland (The Netherlands) ever. Really special to see what you did with the bike mate👏👏👏👏❤

While this isn't a "pro" model, that TI-Raleigh paint job is one of the best looking color schemes EVER!

[antonleukan]

Really awesome! Keeping the paint makes it original!

[AvinMarv]

Sweet upload dude! When I road ride for training, I ride the 1984 Peugeot PH11 (12-speed) that I’ve owned since new. I have single speed’d (freewheel) it, and swapped, or removed parts, but I still have all the original pieces (right down to the white leather Christophe toeclip straps, and Simplex rear derailleur!). Keep doing what you do!
