1984 Raleigh Olympian - Fire survivor

It survived! 
      As many know, the shop suffered a devastating fire which resulted in the loss of nearly everything. Bikes, clothing, memorabilia... all of it. Except a few things.

     I never got around to digging through a collection of classic bikes I had stored in the basement, and lucky for them they only received some minor water damage from the amazing fire crew who battled the blaze and won.

      So, I dug through what was left and came up with this Raleigh. I never paid much attention to it as it was a model I was unfamiliar with, and the components were nothing super fancy. However, paying closer attention to it, it is unique in its own way.
