I am in the process of bringing my 96 Litespeed back to an 80s look. The orginal 1996 Classic had a 80ish look, going back to that..

I also conteplated on doing the unthinkable.. Selling my two 1979 Raleigh Comps, and getting maybe two or three more 80s bikes..
You have a nice grouping of bikes with lean towards Raliegh, I think you should keep one of the 79 Raleighs due to year order, your collection could start with 79 and work it's way up. Keep the best one of the two and sell the other.
I like the Litespeed Classic as well, I'm am considering getting a more modern bike to save wear and tear on the others, so I've been looking at the Motobecane Ti LeChamp SL because it's the lowest costing ti on the market and it got rave reviews. Maybe next year since the old 401k is having some issues and I'm trying to pay off a rental.
