I have high expectations that I'm going to become very attached to this one for several reasons. Not the least of which is the nostalgic itch I've been harboring for my old Grand Prix. I think this could satisfy that several times over since even back then as much as I loved that GP I wanted a higher end Raleigh with aluminum wheels. A Super Course has been on the list for a long time and the older the better. This one checks off those 2 boxes. What better than a "Pre" Super Course?
