Harry W’s 1985 Raleigh Grand Prix

Posted June 19, 2015

1985 Raleigh Grand Prix

Bought out of a Phoenix, AZ garage for $200 (top price), but it was so beautiful I had to have it. Some Mother’s wax and polishing brought it back to this near pristine state. All original except for new brake hoods, brakes and tires. Raleigh (Huffy/Derby) chromed the frame, then painted over resulting in chromed stays and head tube. Notice the Cinelli copy internally lugged and chromed fork made by Raleigh. An absolute stunner. Not a race bike by no means, but more fit for 10 mile leg warmers and pubcrawls.

    I wanted a bore upright riding and went with this configuration on the similar bike. Added bar-end shifting. Also ordered a third ring to install to front. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1a27cb13fbd9463ea6d5f04d8080fb82395610ec51524269e3dca42ba4809731.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b5e510f69c280dc22ad54e02d268d3762c96d5d08bd53769ba0f21144df6625c.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d4ee976e7bd8553e9b7f5e49dfe73977333e296128f6f9cf02467a9a2085b472.jpg
