Here is my 1983 Raleigh Gran Tour, though with no rack mounts and made from Reynolds 531C tubing it is used for lighter loads when needed so I think the name "Gran Tour" was being bit optimistic on Raleigh's part! I replaced the Cinelli handlebars and stem only beacause the stem was too long and the 42cm bars a bit narrow for me. They were replaced by a 44cm Nitto Noodle with 60cm Technomic stem, new cables installed, tossed the Avenir seat for a Brooks B17S, Shimano 600 pedals for MKS Sylvan Touring and the Shimano 600 brake set for Tecktro - with Kool Stop pads. The handlebar wrap is leather.Replaced the Continental 32mm black wall tires for a pair of 35mm Soma New Xpress. I also added the Carradice Pendle saddlebag as well as a Tubus Logo rack for mounting a pair of Carradice Kendel panniers. Otherwise it is as it came from the original owner with Super Champion 36H 700C clincher rims laced to Shimano 600 hubs. The rims had a fair amount of oxidation but I managed to bring back the original mirror finish which I really like. Shimano DX rear derailleur with Shimano 13- 34 six speed freewheel, Deer head front changer with 600 shift levers. Sugino 48/34 crank set as well as a Shimano 600 headset. I also added a 1960's Reg frame pump. It is fun to ride, nice and stable with quick, predictable handling. I paid 180.00 for it so not sure if it is a great deal but considering how uncommon this model is thought I should buy it - had to go down to Seattle though. The paint is fairly scratched up, especially on the drive side top tube and the right side fork chrome is quite pitted but otherwise it is dent free and straight. I just need to add some hammered fenders and perhaps a triple crank set and I think it will be finished.

I should mention this was purchased by the original owner in England as just a frame - which is how Raleigh sold it in their home market. I believe it was sort of a domestic replacement for the International when production of that model moved to Japan.
