The GP (Grand Prix) is a lower model than the Competition, am I correct?

I have been trying to get a Brooks Professional for my Raleigh Competition, but those babies are high. Even the Standards are going for $90 and above. With that said, I just made a deal for a used "Fizik Arione Wing Flex Saddle w/Titanium Rails - Black/Black" for $50. Going to put that on my Raliegh Competition. Will post some pictures as soon as it comes back from the LBS. Getting tune and new tape.

1984 Raleigh Racing USA Competition Via Pittsburgh Craigslist
Greetings,
Although I typically only collect Peugeot's, after reading this thread I figured I could not go wrong purchasing this 1984 Raleigh Racing USA Competition for $60 via Pittsburgh Craigslist. The Raleigh was bundled with 4 kids department store suspension bikes being advertised together for a total of $120. After three weeks the seller agreed to accept my second offer for the Raleigh alone. It looks to be all original, except for the handlebar tape and plugs, and in great shape. I would say 9/10. I will clean it up this winter and give it a spin in the spring.
