not sure what it is because it was repainted. it has campy derailleurs, sugino crank, 600 brakes and hubs, suntour barcons and a 600 headset. i'll take better pics later.
sorry thats my computer taking the pic, almost useless. i think its an 83 and its got pretty tight clearances for tires and fenders. cant find a serial # but i did see 1T on the bottom bracket, i think!?!?!

will have more pics soon but it has a serial # on the left rear dropout 364908. is it possible i have a grand sport? the frame is very light with no bottle brazeons and is not a 70s grand prix. it has a hanger in the rear for a center pull brake. i will post pics eventually.

pics of some of the bike. many components have been "upgraded" and of course the repaint hurts as well but i think this may be a cool project.

You did great on this bike for $75. That was a smoking deal. Part it out and sell it.

Well you did good. You have way more than $75 in parts sitting there. You can`t go wrong. Post close up pictures of the seat cluster, BB and drop outs. Any serial number?

$75 is an excellent price for a bike with so many good parts in good shape. The Campy derailleurs ought to be worth a fair portion of the $75 themselves.
Still, I'd recommend riding and enjoying the bike! Any idea of the type of tubing? i.e. some good Reynolds tubing or plain gas pipe "high tensile" tubing?

I'd guess it's a repainted Grand Sports as the lugs and frame features match. And they usually didn't have a serial # under the BB unlike other Worksop-built Raleighs.
