Yeah... there's downtube shifters and then there's down tube shifters. That bike looks to have down tube shifters. Way down tube.

Ty. The bike was pretty "tricked out" when I got it. It's not just cleaner now it's also significantly lighter:).

Have you tried tracking down the high end racer in the same colours of the same era?
I'd imagine they are much easier to find there than anywhere else! :)

Yes I have but I gave up after 6 months when I finally found this one.

I recently built a new tougher utility bike, leaving me unsure what to do with my Raleigh. Thus, the parts bin porteur was born. So fun to cruise around on.

Photoshopped, or oldschool camera?

So here is my bike when I first got it as a s/s after I removed the der's and hacked off the big ring with a hacksaw.

And now in its most recent incarnation, basically just a new paint colour and saddle.

Drop bars on 26"-wheeled bikes, too. F'real. And I'm glad you resisted the urge to put Oury's up there and instead opted for the less conventional Salsa grips(?).
