1981 Raleigh Competition GS Valuation Please (classic or beater?),
Hi C&V,
after reading about drop vs. flat bars, I got this bike as a rainy/windy day drop bar commuter. After cleaning it up, I am having second thoughts. I am wondering how much it is worth and should I be looking for a different drop bar beater?
I think the bike is 1981 model year with Reynolds 531 fork & frame and mostly 1980 Campagnolo Gran Sport parts, Modolo Speedy brakes, Sunshine hubs, Avocett racing III saddle. Tires and chains were replaced as they look a bit rough. I also switched out the narrow 6 speeds Suntour for a regular 5 speeds SunRace. Friction shifters are new to me and I find the 5 speeds is a little easier.
Thanks for your inputs,
