1983 Raleigh R10

DUMP SCORE! Second vintage ride found in 2 trips to the dump!

One week after finding a 1980 Thruster Tri Power in the scap metal pile at my local dump I KNEW my luck was used up. Upon arrival I found two Thule bike trays in the good junk pile and then headed over to the scrap metal pile which since the week before had been crushed up and taken away so my hopes were not high, not much to see. After a few minutes talking lawnmower surgury with a couple of "regulars" I looked up to see this beauty laying on a pile of construction debris. It seems to be original except for the red Kashimax aero, no grip and no pedals. I have since put the aero to better use and added a Cinneli seat and some old worn out Ame's I had kicking around. I'd like to find an quilted saddle and some black grips more fitting to the bike, but for now she wheelies like a champ. They don't make 'em like they used to! BRAAHHP!!!
