This is an ok bike really.
Not worth $500 of course.
There was a Grand Prix and a Super Grand Prix.
More steel in the cheaper Grand Prix, most notably the rims.
You got bar end shifters on the SGP with Raleigh branded Suntour deraillers,
not a bad setup.
My SGP has been converted to a modern(?) day club bike losing all the
derailleur bits in favor of a
S-A hub. It has Raleigh threaded BB and headset btw; which was a bonus in
being able to use other Raleigh spec parts for the build.
