I think that the Grand Sports is truly one of Raliegh's most ride-friendly and classic offerings, but with a strong Carlton heritage (-including those white and lagoon blue colors - my favorite combination!)
Here's mine (below) - also a '73. Here it's wearing a Suntour Vx and white Tressostar. (I installed Paselas and a silver Crane bell soon after these pics were taken and the tires make it even better.)
