Hello Everyone,
My names Guy, (but everyone calls me Minty) and Iโve just joined the forum...
I live nr Kettering, Northants and have owned my 3-speed Bomber since it was new and given to me by my parents as a Christmas present, back in 1981 - I had just turned 13 then...Iโm 51 now!!! ๐๐๐ (itโs still in great-shape too!)
I love classic cars and own a couple, including a 1973 Rover P5b Coupeโ and a โ84 built/ โ85 registered, Opel Monza GSE, which I agreed to buy on the 27th Dec โ89 and collected on the 2nd Jan 1990...as you can see - I enjoy long-term ownership! ๐
Iโm also โdadโ to my 13yo identical-twin boys - Kyle & Tyler and 8yo Charlie - who all now happen to own Raleigh Bombers too - Kyleโs is a black 3sp like mine - Tylerโs is a blue 3sp...bought to avoid โtwin-confusionโ...whilst Charlieโs is a slightly smaller, blue 3sp...๐๐๐
I have a quick question to ask you guys too if I may?...Is there anywhere I can buy replacement sticker-sets please?...Kyles black Bomber & Charlieโs blue one, would both benefit from fresh stickers!
Anyway, thatโs enough waffle from me!
Keep Safe!...and I look forward to chatting with you all again soon!
Guy. (Minty)

Hi and welcome to the forum groupiegrumpy
There is a guy who makes them for both the blue and black models. His name is Stuart Rose and on Ebay he is Blue Dolphin. Problem is he only lists from time to time and recently said he wasn't making them anymore then changed his mind.
Only way to get hold of him that I can think of is via Facebook group 'Raleigh Bomber Fan Group'. Your kids will find it if you can't lol
I have to say the ones he makes for the Super Bomber (blue model) are absolutely brilliant. The ones for the black model are good but not quite perfect

Hi guys!
Thanks for the welcome and the info gents - their both much appreciated!
Iโll get the boys to go hunting on faceache for the stickers as I donโt have an account anymore - do you guys on the forum ever meet-up etc?...only, itโd be fun to go riding the Bombers on-mass somewhere sometime!
Iโm especially happy to go for a ride around Northampton too - itโs give the locals something to gawp at!!! ๐
Best Wishes...
Guy. ๐

And a welcome from me as well, as you will note this is a quite site, but checked fairly frequently by several members. Good luck with the decal replacement. I have two sets from blue dolphin and while not perfect they are a lot better than nothing. Check out the meet up section, a few members to post there as well. It a bit much of a cycle for me though, I'm West coast of Ireland. Don't have my bomber from New, bought it second hand in 1989 I think, from a school student that was two years ahead of me, he was of to college and sold his bike. Technically I sold it a few years later to my grandmother as she loved riding it, but she passed six years back and the bike is back into my hands.
