Doohickie’s 1983 Raleigh USA Super Course

Posted

I’ve been lagging this week, and really the past month. Oh well, it is January!

Today’s ride comes to us from Doohickie. This is his 1983 Raleigh USA Super Course.

Give a little, get a little.  I traded the Schwinn Prelude I submitted earlier this year for a Raleigh Super Course.  It turns out the Prelude was a bit small for me, and the Super Course was a bit too big for its previous owner, but when we traded them we both ended up with bikes that fit us.  The Super Course came to me with a Suntour aR rear derailleur but I had an aRX hanging around and put it on because that was the original derailleur type that came on the Super Course in 1983.  So far all I’ve done is ride it around the block a few times while verifying adjustments, but it’s a good fit!

Thanks Doohickie

    I have this same bike I inherited from my Dad who passed. He always said it was a great bike. What would it be worth today in good condition? Thanks in advance!
