Peter Kohler has a very valid point about the Raleigh RRA. These are superb racing machines. There are two totally original machines in our group both still in their original paint. The RRA is a real thoroughbred and rides like a dream. It has a wonderful racing pedigree. Ray Booty first man to break four hours in a 100TT. Charlie Holland did some fantastic rides on a RRA. He went on to be the first Englishman too ride the Tour de France. The Lenton never got a mention as we would not regard this as a pure racing bike. Although this is an excellent clubman's bike with a beautiful ride quality.

Best wishes and be lucky. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
