I may be vintage but I'm not sure I'm a classic, but that's another discussion....anyway to my bike.

When I was in college in 1969, I purchased a Raleigh Carlton Competition from Dade Cycle Shop in Coconut Grove, Florida. From poking around RetroRaleigh, it seems this was the second year they were made and the first with the Bronze Green color...serial is Dxxxx.

It has 27 inch wheels with Nisi-Evian and Light Alloy Corsa stickers. It has 531 Reynolds Butted tubes, forks and stays on a 23 1/2 inch frame. It is all original (down to the same wraps on the handle-bars) except for new tires. ( I have the Raleigh catalog with the bike pictured...at that time they sold it to me for $159.00!)

The Competition has been in my basement for about 30 years and is in very good condition.

Could anyone give me an approximate value for this bike if I sold it in today's market.

TIA,
Norm
