We all had a Raleigh at some point, didn't we?

Clive Hodgson – his hair was an impressive creation!

First Raleigh

Second a few years later was a white road bike that I can’t remember the name of

But this was the unrealised dream

My first bike was a Raleigh RSW 11,

Love that pic. The RSW 11 is, purely from aesthetic/design angle, quite perfect.

Would like to see a new scaled-up cargo/town bike version keeping all those lines complete w/balloon tyres and that rack.

You are not wrong there! I couldn’t understand the construction/configuration of the 2017 version.

It was a sweep-over – moulded, sculpted, sprayed and er, bird’s-nested, to look as much like a quiff as old Clive could manage. Some creation.

Never had one. Always thought they did shite bikes due to things like the activator etc. Was interesting. Maybe they should have stuck with the high market stuff and down sized.
