hello everyone, im new to the forums so im not a BMX fanatic like some of you on here. while hard rubbish was on in my suburb, i found this very good condition Raleigh Rampar RX-11 on the side of the road. what do you guys think of it?.....i cant find any background info on this bike anywhere so if anyone knows were it would be..plz reply!









If you want more pictures heres a link http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq238/oaks_photos/
or ask me to take some more(no problem at all)

I'd say your either a troll, or sitting on a hot bike that was stolen and dumped.

ahh no sorry mate i went down to my neighbors(were i got the bike) and asked them if it was theirs and they said it was. its not stolen, obviously they dont know its true value

you did good then! Congrats!

nice bike.............

i wonder if the kid who endoed it hurt himself (bent fork)

maybe he said f-this thing after the crash and walked away from it.

i found a serial number on the bike...E2C347C8 does this mean anything to anyone?

Would be good to know what year this thing is from. I had one at age 6. It was like 40 lbs, and so was I. But it was like chaining a puppy pit to a cinder block. I grew up and got faster than most.

I might be interested in getting it off ya. Depends on if we can find what year it is. It's got way better parts than mine had from '76.

ahhh you live in america? i live in australia so theres the problem...unless you wana pay alot of postage its going to cost you alot to ship it to usa

Raleigh Rampar's were very popular in the late 70's to early 80's with two famous pros doing most of the Factory Team duties early on. They were Toby Henderson and Jeff Bottema. They had a large team in the mid 80's lead by my good friend George Antil of GA Racing.

My first BMX bike was the Raleigh Rampar RX-10 and I got that in 1978... The Raleigh Rampar RX-11 was the next level up with free wheel and I believe a little bit better frame and fork?

You should be able to find plenty of old school ads and tests in the older mags.

I'm a big fan of the Raleigh and i'm currently rebuilding a 16" pitty. The R11 is a cool frame and I would love to build one. The fork is unfortunately bent quite bad and should be replace.
This frame isn't the same model as it is a looptail and very rare (it's very close) but it would look close built up. I think waza should post his pic about now.
my fav poster as a kid.

not to be rude or anything fellas, but any idea what these bikes sell for? it would be much appreciated

check the link at the top that says "what's my bike worth?" you'll get your answer there. i personally wouldn't sell it. i'd put some bottema forks on it and ride it all the live long day. those toby pics rock!

The shame is I'm too big for old school stuff now. But again, I'm glad I'm not 5'4" either.

New school is good enough for me. Wonderful find and it's probably not worth over 3 or4 hundred usd to most, but guaranteed priceless to a few.

Good for you. You are now riding my childhood. Get the fork and clean it up.
