My son who is 15 and has shown increasing interest in older road bikes is getting this 1979 Raleigh Grand Prix for Christmas. I have serviced it, rewrapped the bars and now just waiting for tires to arrive. I have a vice stockpile of parts for him to raid and set it up for himself, hopefully he chooses DT shifters and a turkeywingectomy first. Not the best bike out there but a good start and test to make sure its cared for and maintained before a step up.
