rocks in head , before you get too far in your restoration, check the frame alignment. Every Raleigh Grand Prix and Super Course from the 1970's I've restored, which is about a dozen at this point, have had seat/chain stays off centered from the frame. I used to use a vise to hold the bottom bracket shell, but I was never in full control of the process. Here is a solution that is far more effective...
