Raleigh gran course/competition 12 (panasonic conversion)

[Marbo]

The bike is nearly there.

A good clean and polish, decals oh and the brake levers switching

My only concern is that it isn't a Panasonic. It's not got the pearl white, the blue is just not right and the groupset is too new for the frame.

I am now thinking red "Raleigh" decals with yellow stripes where the blue meets white (or vice versa)

Any thoughts?

Re:

Does look a little lighter in pics but I reckon with the stripes and words on it would look fine.

Colour is nigh on spot on for a circa 1988 Raleigh Esprit..

Your prob right, and it was never meant to be a show bike.

Also the wheels will be getting changed when I get my Panasonic. And I really don't like the 600 pedals, the cheap decathalon ones I had on are far more comfortable, so they will also be donated to that.

It's Valspar from b+q. Can't remember the name of the blue I will have to check. But yes it looks spot on.

I can also recomend this paint for anyone doing a rattle can job. It covers well with a good finish that doesn't look like orange peel.
