1980 Raleigh Competition GS
Raleigh Competition GS Raleigh Competition GS
With old Nitto Technomic stem
Full Reynolds 531 butted tubes, fork and stays. Carlton built, though not as sought after as a Professional or International. Makes a great all day "sport touring" road bike. Currently a fun around town fixed/single speed (has no braze-ons and is perfect for that application). Exceptional ride quality too. (Was originally my first brevet bike in 2001). It's mainly used only as a fixed gear these days.
