claim your Ł1.50 from the scrappers....
after you spend all day removing all the steel spokes from your alloy rims.
from what i remember the inch (headset size) mountain bikes were made from steel. then once the changed that to inch and 8th they were made out of aluminium and later on in carbon fibre etc. could be wrong tho its ages really since i been in that scene.
majority of old raleighs will be made from steel and more than likely low grade steel as they are not built to be used like a true mtb, most common alloy for mtb's is 6001 and 7005, look for a sticker on the seat tube saying what material it is made from
for most jump mtbs & bmx's its 4130 chromoly steel
from the scrappers....
