Raleigh Competition Gs Questions
I’m thinking about buying a 1978 Raleigh Competition GS and have a few questions for owners of these bikes.
1) Does this frame have a relaxed or sporting geometry?
2) I noticed that the main frame tubes are made from Reynolds 531; are the stays made from the same material?
3) How much does a complete Raleigh Competition weigh?
4) Are there any problem areas that I should keep an eye out for?
Thank you very much for your response!
Regards,
Jason

The Competition has a geometry very similar to the Professional. Interpretation - sporting. If you want a more relaxed geometry, try to find an International.
