Thanks. I just need the 57 and 54.5 cm from 1984 and I'll have a complete set
.
The thing is that these don't show up very often, so when the 62 cm was offered for sale at a very reasonable price, I bought it. I liked it so much that when a few weeks later the 60 cm showed up, at half that price, I couldn't resist. Both are pretty much in original condition, including the bar tape!
I think the 1984 Competition, Corsa and Scirocco may be the best-looking bikes Raleigh ever offered: sleek, elegant and classy paint jobs.
