Bikes: The keepers: 1969 Magneet Sprint, 1971 Gitane Tour de France, 1973 Raleigh Twenty, 3 - 1986 Rossins.

Looking at those pictures a second time, I'm seriously wondering if it was a '71 or '72 catalog . . . . . . . because . . . . . . . . . all the bikes pictures (forget the '72's, I'm pretty certain they're Records) have swept back bars. One of the real stylistic things about the Sprite 10 I'm thinking about (and owned, at one time) was that it had short, straight, nearly flat bars not unlike those on the white and orange '72 Record pictured. And all Sprite 10's back then had the flat bars. Made them somewhat unique in the Raleigh line at the time.
