I bought this bike in Germany in the late 80’s. It began as a road bike, drop handle bars, thin racing tires. I was competing In triathlons at the time. It’s my third Raleigh. I had a green Raleigh in the 70’s, had that three speed shift on the handle bars. Classic Brooks leather seat. I also had, I believe, a white Raleigh Grand Prix in the late 70’s in Arizona.
