Tiaan92 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Hi all, I recently received a Raleigh El Dorado Platinum Series MTB. Any idea what the exact model is? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted March 20, 2018 Share Wow, you've got your hands on a collector's item there, bud. With some spit 'n polish you could sell that beauty for a very, very good price. Nice going! pista, Tiaan92 and Escapee.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapee.. Posted March 20, 2018 Share Agreed I saw one advertised the other day for R74 000. You got lucky here! Odinson and pista 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what model it is though? I think it was manufactured pre-2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted March 20, 2018 Share Be very careful these were super highly desirable when they came out and limited edition. Altus is the best you can get, top of the range crisp shifting.What you need to check is if it is actually made of platinum or cheaper chromoly. Use a magnet, if it sticks then unfortunately you don't have the really expensive model. letsride and Skylark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackster Posted March 20, 2018 Share Not quite sure who is playing who here... But try bikepedia.com, you might have to browse through the year models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiaan92 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Sorry for the confusion - it seems obvious that it's a Raleigh El Dorado, but I can't find any information on it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted March 20, 2018 Share That's pretty old. I think about 1999 or so. I have a magazine somewhere where that did a review on it. That particular model was unique to SA. Info on it may be pretty scare on the internet I might be wrong on this, but it may have been designed by Victor Momsen (now of Momsen Bikes). He would have worked for them at the time.

Tiaan92 Posted March 20, 2018 Share LOL - no worries. Not trying to sell it, just trying to find any specs on it. I'll give bikepedia.com a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
