Ever notice something?
So tonight, I was going by the local bike-picker (if you live in Fort Wayne and have ever been to the "bike shop" on State, you know what I mean) and spotted a Raleigh Super Course that had to belong to me. Drove home, pulled out the too-small-for-me Cannondale Black Lightning (that I got for free) as well as my Univega that has been plaguing me like the devil and offered them to him in trade. Long story short, that and $25, and I have a completely original 1977-1978 Raleigh Super Course. Complete Suntour groupset, all the way down to the suede seat (though it's not black, so I'm doubting it's original...
Anyway, a cursory look, and it seems that everyone and their brother has a 1973 with cottered cranks, but it's almost impossible to find a later model, bar-con and cotterless crank bike...
Just thought that was kinda weird.
Oh, also, the paint is very faded. Is there a way to restore it a bit, or am I going to just deal with a pumpkin colored bike? Either way is fine by me...
