Hello,
I have acquired a early model Raleigh Competition frame (pre-1972) where I am trying to research its original parts.
The frame is white with robin's egg blue on the head tube and two stripes on the seat tube. The "Competition" transfer is clearly visible in smaller gold lettering on the top tube and the earlier Raleigh script is on the downtube. Both front and rear dropouts are clearly marked Zeus. The cable stop bridge on the seat stays are for Weinmann 600 brakes.
This frame is in its original condition with original decals and has never been repainted. My search at Retro Raleighs does not even mention Raleigh Competitons with Zeus dropouts or these frame colors. I have, however seen this paint scheme used on early Raleigh Gran Prix frames.
Does anyone recall what components went on an early model Competiton like this?
Thanks in advance, Steve Neago "A balmy high of 50 degrees in Cincinnati, OH"
