I've lusted after a mink/silver Raleigh Pro for over a quarter of a century. Now, thanks to Brian Baylis's ministrations, my dream bike is on the road, better than new!

Purists be warned, this is not a "restoration," it's an "interpretation." Much as I love great old frames, I don't have a lot of fondness for old parts on a bike that I actually plan to ride.
