In the 60's and 70's I virtually lived on my bike. I got hooked on Raleigh when I purchased a Grand Prix, then later a Competition, and finally a Professional in 1975. In 1980 I began to suffer from the onset of RA which effectively ended my bicycle riding. Today, with advanced RA, riding a bicycle is unthinkable.
Hanging in the den is my old Pro still in almost like new condition. The wife wants to embark on a major redecorating project and is pressing me to sell or donate the bike. Having been out of the bicycle world for so many years I am clueless where to begin short of putting it on eBay which I really don't want to do.
Is there a market for my old Pro? Do people still ride them? Do people collect them? Is there such a thing as a Raleigh museum that could put it to good use? I would like to see the bike go to someone that would cherish and take care of it like I did so many years ago. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What city are you in? That will help us assess the market value for you. +1 on posting photos and the size of frame is important also. I'd love to see it!
