I am trying to identify a mystery Raleigh frame made of Reynolds tubing that I think may be a Grand Sport.
It is a G serial number so 1972 (or so with Raleighs). It has Campagnolo dropouts and the fork from a Competition Mark II but I have never seen Campagnolo dropouts on a Competition before the GS.
The measurement of the chainstay to the end of the dropout is a long 17 1/2" that I think is the same as the Grand Sport and Super Tourer both with 27" wheels. (Competition Mark IIs and Internationals were 17" and the Competition GS is 16 1/2".)
I appreciate the help.
