When trying to find out what the specs are from my bike I found yours, Its exactly the same! Exept the detailing has been worn on mine ofcourse, Stille lovely to see some are still out there (even in New Zealand) Love the old Raleighs! Mine has frameno. 1004000 guess its a '81? Anyway, lots of riding fun! A while ago I found a bike on the side of the road, she was in a horrible condition.

I have a pretty similar one, and I can give you a simple explanation for the fact that you'll hardly ever find two of these with the same components. I found out from a 1980 catalogue that back then the only way to get hold of a Competition in this coulour was to buy a frame from Raleigh, and then rig it up yourself. Funny you are planning to give the brakes a chop, it was the one thing I changed. I went for a pair of 600EX Arabesque instead of the Weinmanns. This bike is a beauty!

Some back-up/replacements would be great! Enjoy your exceptional find!! What a beauty!!! Such detail could never be found on oine of todays machines.

There is just something about a vintage Raleigh that just really.........I can`t think of the words, But you know what I mean. It was my brother`s Raliegh Competition (first year for the model) that got me hooked on classic road bikes. Great Choice! Fantastic bike, Your planed changes for her sound spot-on.
