Greg Parker at Bicycle Classics has the old style Campy adjustors, which I'm 99% sure would have been on a 69 Raleigh Pro, in both long and short lengths. These are the ones with the steel end caps. He also has the Campy new style with the plastic end caps, which are much cheaper, but not as correct. If the bike has the Campy long dropouts, as I expect it does, the long adjustors would have been original. However, I often push the wheel all the way back in the long dropouts to help a Campy NR RD shift a 28T FW cog. In that case I like to use the short adjustors, as the long ones in this situation protrude far behind the dropouts and are easily bent. I've just set up a 1972 Paramount like that, using old style short adjustors from Greg. He is one of the best vendors around in terms of shipping stuff very promptly.

Thanks - hope the Holidays are good.
