I like the original colour too, but fair enough if it's too tatty.

One of the Oro colours for me, or that metallic Verde one. Scan decals, get replacements made, job done

The August 82 edition of Cyclist Monthly has a road test review of the Raleigh Gran

No promises, i'll check if I have that issue during the week, it rings a bell,when you saw that colour at a distance you knew what it was

Already wondering how I can improve the ratios on this. Proper hilly round here.

Would an 8 speed hub be too wide for frame and too narrow for rd and chain?
