Subject: Re: [CR] Raleigh Special Edition


I have number 56 of the Raleigh Professional Special Edition model. It is the Mink Brown. My preference would be be the Blue. However if you go to Sheldon's website look at his repaired and refinished frame by Brian Bayliss. On that bike alone I am happier to have the brown. If it were not for the limited edition sticker I would refurbish mine. As it is I will retain it in its humble and used condition.

I have not seen any other color than the brown or blue. The picture of the sticker at the bottom of the seat tube for the red one on Ebay looks correct. This is certainly an anomaly to me.

If anyone else has a special edition I would like to know.

If anyone knows if the red color was actually offered I would like to know.

Thank you in advance for your help in this conundrum. J. strizek; sacramento, california, in the USA
