Raleigh Special Products MTB

Post by HJRW »

I picked up this one on eBay - anyone had experience of these, and when it was made ? Raleigh Special Products Pro-Line M-Trax 300, serial no. AC 80510710. Shimano brakes & gears (3x8). Seems mid '90's. I've renewed the cables, tyres, pedals & put my own saddle. Photos too big to put on here - yellow alloy frame, box section chainstays, SR SunTour forks. Not the latest, but a nice bike to ride.

Mid-90's seems right. Shimano parts will have a two letter manufacturing date code which should narrow it down a little.

Very many thanks for that Gaz - didn't know that ! - parts made in April 1996- so looks like it's 1996 or 97. Question answered.
