I love those first couple of years of the Kent-made Raleighs. It was like they went overboard doing a "British" bike to make up for the fact that the bikes weren't made in Nottingham anymore. Every time I get one of those in for a fix and flip, I'm tempted to keep it. Fortunately, nothing that's come thru has been my size.
