1974 Raleigh Gran Sport

This bike is a little modified but I do have all the parts to make it original.  I replaced the Simple rear derailleur with a Suntour V-GT and I am slowly but surly getting all the vintage campy components to give it a little upgrade.  I have a Super Record Campy Front and Rear Derailleurs going on as well as a Suntour Ultra 6 Freewheel.  Any suggestions or comments welcome.

Thanks Trey

    Such a beauty! Is that the original paint (“Lagoon blue”)?

    It killed me, really, that by the time I was out of school and could afford my Super Course (the ’77 just above) Raleigh stopped chroming the forks and stays; I still drool over that look.

      It does kind-of have that clean “drop-dead gorgeous” look to it, doesn’t it? The chromed dropouts and white compliments the color and seem to take weight out.

      Hey Trey, you’d better keep an eye on it (or at least get a good lock)!

    WOW-how did I miss this cupcake! Fantastic job! Is that a nervar crank or a stronglight? Either way the bash guard gives it special class. I’m a fan. Did you retap and file for the rdr change?

    Hello, some gave me a 10 speed Raleigh like the blue one on the page. I want to restore it. Any ideas are welcome.
