I like how the front quick release is wound up tight. I don't know how this seller thinks this bike is rare. Raleigh only made about 50,000 of these bikes to sell world wide that year. Its like saying a 1971 Ford 4 cylinder Pinto is a rare collectible car.

Is it just me, or has that bike experienced a "sudden frontal deceleration?" Looks tweaked in the front end to me, although I can't tell for sure from those poor, off-angle pics.....
