We recently packaged up this retro Raleigh Kent mx750 restoration project and sent on to our client in Salt Lake City Utah to be restored.

I believe this to be one of the first dual suspension bmx bikes that were released in the 70s
This one being a 1977 model

Our client already has 19 similar bikes to this so we know it’s going to a good home.

We have already been updated with progress photos and it’s in full swing.

Another happy global customer for us at The wheel thing 👍😎

This Raleigh vektar is on route to start its new life in Australia as our client had one as a youngster and wishes to relive his youth….

It’s for the kids the wife was told…..

This Raleigh will continue to clock how fast you are going while firing out cheesy 80s electronic sounds from the speaker and then you can switch to hear FM radio crackling faintly ….

Good bye old friend and safe journeys

Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for the support i have had this year wether it be a purchase, a message or a simple thumbs up on our posts.

Wow who could of predicted this year aye 🤯
Where was mystic Meg when we needed her....

We decided to start eBay in earlier in July to adapt to this very special year shall we say and we have listed over 200 items from bicycles, frames, stems, wheels and pedals to name a few....

We have sold over 130 items posted all over the UK and 103 customers have cared to leave us a positive review with their purchase received with in a day or two.

We also have to praise our local post office and postal staff who provided a subliminal service during this lockdown.

I know it’s been a pretty crap year for all of us Including myself in other aspects so I’m hoping to spread a bit of cheer and a light at the end of the tunnel.

We wish everyone a healthy and prosperous new year.

Merry Christmas to all our friends and customers.

🚲🍾🥂

Raleigh spent roughly £300 on electrics etc on this model per bike so sales wasn’t as expected....

However all the ‘Rich’ kids had them back in the mid eighties....

35 years later some are still around with working sounds board, radio and Speedo!
