I just got a nice old steel vintage ride for a pretty darn good deal. A Raleigh Grand Prix. Per the serial number, it was built in Worksop, Nottingham, England  on the sixteenth fortnight of 1978.

She’s all original, with the Raleigh branded Suntour V-GT components, Wienmann brakes, Raleigh branded SR aluminum crankset and Brook CR3 vinyl seat. She’s a beaut.

It may get new components and such put on it, but I will keep all the original pieces should I decide to later restore it.
