1982 Raleigh Viper
Found in a shed and untouched for years!
I don't know any history on this bike as I recently purchased it out of a shed.

FORKS: Chrome AKISU.
COMPONENTRY: Cranks are Maxy Cross by Sugino and are 170mm in length. Original Sugino 44 tooth chainwheel along with original chainguard still attached! These are forged aluminium
3 piece. The pedals are MP 130 Sakae and still have Sakae reflector's attatched.
WHEELS: The wheels are japanese made OGK Tuffs and are red in colour. The tyres are both snake belly pattern Super MX-6 Gumwalls. The other components on the bike include MX Weinneman rear brake caliper in red with matching 2 finger brake lever. Fluted alloy red annodised seat post with red seat clamp.

Yeah, there aren't many sheds like that anymore. Unfortunately people send bikes to rubbish dumps rather than collector's these days.
