for those well off at the time... the raleigh activator! :cool:

( I didn't have one... but so wanted one)

I still have my Raleigh Burner, mine is blue and yellow "without mags"... I only recently dug it out the shed and gave it a good wash and it's in pretty good nick considering I wash bashing it up and down the place during the late 80's.
Almost got binned a few months ago when we had a skip in the driveway.
Still has the original tyres, bald as a chickens head though. Not surprised what I use to be doing with it

Nope, sorry, don't own one, unfortunately.
