A 1981 Raleigh Canuck

[PoppaShango]

Here is my 1981 Raleigh Canuck. Don't know much about this one except when I found it I thought it was pretty cool. Slapped down some money and took it home to completely dismantle it. :lol: I went through the whole bike and refurbed it. I was going to do a repaint, when I cleaned it up..I decided to just let it be. I have it up for sale so I hope it goes somewhere where it will be appreciated. You can move the top brace to a top position or a low position making it a boys or girls bike which I had never seen before. I am sure the "Canuck" is to appeal to the Canadian consumers, but I am pretty sure that because it's a Raleigh, it may have some counterpart across the border or the pond. If anyone knows anything about this one, please share!

I know! :lol: ...I came to my senses once I got it cleaned up. But in my own defense it was covered in gunk and rust was showing on all of the chrome.

You sure can! That is my 1969 Cadillac Sedan De Ville. It needs a lot of bodywork done, but the 472 under the hood runs beautifully. It's on my list of projects to do complete. That list is becoming long... :lol:
