Hello All,
My name is EJ, and I am glad to have found this site. I have recently begun searching out and buying old ten speeds to refurbish and enjoy. I got 2 bikes off of craigslist here locally. One is a Raleigh Grand Prix in excellent condition. It has taken me awhile to get used to it, but I really dig it. Now, I am trying to figure out its exact year of production and learning about all the parts. The other ten speed is a complete mystery aside from the Suntour parts. I cant seem to find a model or maker for that matter. But, I do love the frame. Im planning on doing a complete rebuild of this one and hopefully in the process I will find out the model, maker and year of production. Boy, I sure got the bug and love working on and riding these old ten speeds.
If anyone is able to offer insite on my mystery ten speed I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks for having me on this great board!
