Re: FS: 1985 Raleigh Competition 12 56cm £150
I can't wait to get this now....
I can't find the exact spec it should have been as there doesn't seem to be auk 1985 catalogue online anywhere.... Looking at the year before and after it seems Suntour Cyclone 2 gears but I like the Shimano that are on it.... Although campag nuovo gran sport looks like a nice option and was supplied on the competition in the 80's.... Thoughts?

With all due reverence to the 'King of the skip monkeys'. 1985 was pre mass market indexed shifting so everything was a bit pernickety, most of the basic designs from all the major companies had not changed since the early 70's....
So ya pays yer money and takes ya choice :!: :!: :!:

1985 was Dura-Ace indexed so why not stick with the big S.
