1974 Raleigh International in Champaign. Everyone who likes old steel wants to own an International just to find out why everyone raves about them. The bike has all Campagnolo drive train, headset and seatpost and original Weinmann brakes and levers with Carlton marked hoods, white Velox end plugs and Brooks Professional saddle. The chrome is perfect, the paint has the appearance you have to expect on a 40-year-old bike and that is reflected in the price. The frame is a 23" that Raleigh recommended for a rider 5'8" and over. It currently has period correct Weinmann clincher rims and tires but if you prefer the original sewups, you can have those instead. Either set of wheels would be mounted to Campagnolo Nuevo Record hubs and the sewups would have the original AVA rims. If you are not familiar with the bike it is Reynolds 531 butted frame forks and stays built at the Carlton Works in Worksop England who built all of Raleigh's racing and top of the line bikes during this period. The head tube and the fork crown have chromed Nervex lugs and the forks and stays have chromed socks as the chromed ends were called. For a lot of vintage bike lovers this is their grail bike because of the reputation for doing everything well and looking good in the process. This is what Sheldon Brown said about the International:
