I think that I am nearly finished.

Today:
Added a rear brake
Replaced the front brake to match the rear
Replaced the external cam skewers with vintage Suntour internal cam skewers - looks much better
Replaced the 26.8 seatpost with a 27.0 (still need to find a 27.2)
Took a short test ride - the wind is fierce and debris on the streets

Need To:
Crimp cable ends
Final bar wrap (I bought a 500' roll of 1" binding tape from Blind Industries & Services a few years ago, and use it as a test wrap for bars and as an underlayment. It is a bit too wide for tight bends, so no good for a finish tape)

Is Sir Wally's new pillar a Taiehi?

Contemporaneous w/frame if so.

Coming along nicely! :thumb:

Good eyes. Actually it was the only 27.0 in the stash.

^ +1. I've had a few Gran(d) Sport(s) bikes come my way, and none had Zeus-labeled dropouts. Still, you never know with Raleigh. Or maybe this was one of those early Competitions with Gran Sport-style lugs and paint scheme?

Hey, I've got one that I picked up at the Seattle Bike Swap!
