The Super Tourers I have seen and the one I owned briefly, were black head tube and seat tube stripes with a green overall finish. They were exclusively French equipped with Huret dropouts front and rear, a full Huret Jubilee derailleur group with black topped downtube levers, Maillard HF (700s?) hubs, Stronglight 93 cranks with an alloy chain guard in the outboard location and two inner rings along with an upright bar on a GB stem. The two I speak of did not have brazed on pump pegs but I have seen that in photos. Could be a difference in our Canadian spec bikes. It was a lovely bike and would be a great addition to a Raleigh collection. It also had very nice frame workmanship and an lower headset bearing race in lieu of an upper!
