Someone (not me) posted once that the people who bought and actually rode early 70's Raleigh Internationals immediately changed parts on them. The ones you can find now that are original weren't really ridden. I see posts now and then from people who are "horrified" to see someone make a "frankenbike" out of one today. There's a lot of other vintage bikes in that category.
