That's my 1968 Grand Prix
Sweet sweet looking Raleigh. When I got started back then(late 60's/early 70's), the Raleigh's were always just out of reach for me (ended up with Schwinn, Dawes, then Azuki, and much later, a well worn Jeunet)

That '68... that looks lilke a B5N Brooks seat, eh? The perforations along the lower edge...
That model was standard on the Dawes, and that seat is now on my '04 Felt F65; it makes my high-tech roadie a MOST comfortable ride.

I have been angling around for another one of those or at least a B17 or something of that ilk. Rebuilding a 72 Bottecchia and it just begs for an old Brooks... just hesitant to spend too much on one used or spring for a new one for a bike that won't get ridden too much (and cost me $10 two weeks ago!).

Any one got one they want to part with? *smiles*
