This Raleigh Team USA bike was made to commemorate the 1984 Olympic team. And true to the American form - this bike is extra extra large.

The Team USA model was the top model in this series and is made from Reynolds 555 steel (not seen too often here in Europe) and features some nice details on the frame such as engraved fork crown and seat stays.

The bike has been kitted with a 32-622 Michellin tires which are great for city slickin' where the extra width adds a layer of comfort.
