Re:
The hubs are part of the early-period Campy record grouppo + Mafac Tiger brakes, super champion rims and ideale saddle ... all stock for this model. The original 151 bcm cranks are shelved (with the inner 45T's too hard on the knees). Newer Cinelli bars were installed as I don't trust the old Philippe bars anymore + they're too narrow.

Late entry Raleigh.
Here is my late entry, bought new by me 30 years ago (July 1984, Rowallens Cycles), Lightweight Unit Raleigh Corsa; one year only in this colour - Oyster (pearl white).
Reynolds 501 throughout, Shimano 600EX (first gen SIS) groupset, missing Shimano seatpost and aero pedals - pedals are MKS, Christophe clips, Binda straps and Cinelli buttons. Cinelli 64/42 handlebar, 1a stem, Benotto ribbon and Cinelli end caps. San Marco Rolls - once red - suede saddle. Sedisport nickel plated chain.
Wheels have just been rebuilt with DT Swiss d/b spokes on a pair of original fit NoS rims. Bike is mint and was bought to replace a stolen Roberts - which was returned to me three years later by the police!
If you like it, I'll enter more bicycles.
Jon.

Too many pics though, give the other nominations a chance and limit to two
