Beat up Super Course built.
I've been parting out most of my 3 speed collection.. and I didn't even have a raleigh built up.. but I did have a super course frameset I thought was too large, and new knowledge to try on fitting (thank you guys for that), so one thing led to another over this rainy dreary weekend, and I was sick anyhow..she is quite beat up, so without further ado here she is

I am sure that you were duly impressed RaleighSport!

The 25-1/2. Okay, maybe 8/9ths scale. Maths never was my strong suit.

Thats is extremely coincidental RaleighSport...........you have the same Sekai 2700 and now this. I have this same SC and mines pretty beat up as well. I found mine locked to a fence outside the thrift store and stalked it til the owner came out and unlocked it. I made him an offer and gave him a ride home. Seatpost and stem are stuck, wheels were completely trashed, paints in bad shape. It's currently a backlogged project, but it's the same color as yours...........my thought was that it is a late 70s model.

Well, as I said, it has a stuck stem and seatpost that I just have'nt gotten around to. Ideally I'd like to see a Machine Grey repaint with a Suntour Cyclone group and Sugino Mighty crankset which I have cleaned up and ready. It came with Suntour Cyclone black clamp-on shifters for sure, the RD/FD I don't recall and Miche Competition hubs I think. Cranks were swaged SR
