1979 Raleigh Super Grand Prix -new (NOS)
Hi all
This is the '79 Super GP I picked up at an auction in March 2017. Brand new, never ridden. It came out of Caps Cycle museum (in New Westminster, BC). The pics are before I took it home to clean off the dust but it was pretty clean anyway. It's too big for me, about 60cm, but couldn't pass up on an unridden classic. Bought it for $300 total.
All original stock parts, with bar-end shifters.
SN: WP9004351: Worksop manufacture, November 1979.
