1989 Raleigh Pointe

Acquired a Retro MTB intended components as a hybrid and turned it into a Monster Cross/Touring/ATB after restoring the gloss and luster of the original paintjob. The 1990 Shimano 200GS Groupset was also painted with black spraypaint to make sure that the previous owner would convince me that it is 'well-maintained', considering the bike shop decal on the Down Tube reads, "Cycle Path Chatsworth".

Current Stage Info:

I got this bike on this stock setup with a purposely spraypainted groupset and tires of the previous owner (seller) to convince me in selling it for the condition he is saying. Considering the additional decal on the down tube stating, "CyclePath Chatsworth". I still purchased it on a very desirable price.
