I used to be really into my Mountain Biking in the late 90's. I used to own a Raleigh M-Trax titanium. I rode that bike everywhere.

Unfortunately someone stole it Needless to say it wasn't insured correctly at the time - so my replacement model wasn't as nice and I have never bonded as well with it.

The point of the thread is I am now very chuffed that I have won a 1995 Raleigh M-Trax on ebay. Time to relive the past.

Dan just thinks I am nuts for wanting a retro bike
