Greetings campers and quiz contestants
More likely it's a 69 Raleigh Competition, from the time when the
Professional was white and there was not yet an International model, which
fits with the color, headbadge, Nervex lugs, fork crown, Zeus crank,
Simplex shifters, Weinmann brakes, Atom pedals, cheapy-creepy headset, and
other things I'm seeing there except sometimes the Campy drops were Zeus
drops. Also available in black. Every one I've ever seen for sale has been
too large for me. GRRRrrrrrrr.
See the 69 Raleigh catalog at the website of your choice for a stunning
lack of detail in the description.
