I talked my friend into buying this bike.

Raleigh Courier -19" (there-abouts I didn't measure exactly)
700c wheelset w/drum brakes & steel rims
Alloy ST cranks, steel (non-heron) chainwheel (this could be a replacement.) BB looks really weird with strange black lockrings on both sides (I didn't take it apart to look inside)
Headbadge is exactly like the one Kurt posted above -glued, not rivited
Northroad bars
Alloy modern looking quill stem
looks like OEM bottle dyno and lights F&R
Lugged steel frame with sort of sloppy lug highligher paint that matches pinstriping so I think it was OEM. The paint is pretty good on the bike except for the sloppy lug highlights.

Neat bike. I can't wait to tear into it. I can't even find anything about the Raleigh Courier online. I've never seen anything like this.
