coopman.....it depends on what kind of $$ and time you want to invest on the "old" Raleigh.
Like AlmostTrick "said".....if you enjoy wrenching on bikes then go for it and buy some tools. Otherwise, I'd get the LBS to do the specialty work but if it's too costly I'd be looking at the used market for one.
Either way everyone should have a SS in their bike stable.......
