I found a Raleigh Super Grand Prix at the local thrift store for $13 with all of its original components in fair shape. One notable exception was a brake lever pin having been broken in one of the brake levers so I dug another pair of period correct levers from my old part boxes. The rims were in poor shape as well but considering the age of the bike (1980 + or - a year) that was to be expected. I put some wheels on the bike to try it out before I started restoring it and found it a very nice riding bike! If some custom frame builder were making one just to fit me this would be it. I was going to restore it period correct but after riding it a while now I want to leave the wheels I have on it with Shimano 105 hubs and Titan rims and change out all the other components to modern parts and use it as a daily rider. I do plan on retaining the SunTour Bar-End shifters but I will have new brake levers, handlebar, Crank, and rear derailleur. Is this heresy on my part? Would the local retro grouch group ostracize me? I will be painting the frame and printing up new decals in any case.
