Howdy gang,

Thank you to all who responded on and off list to my request for info regarding my newest acquisition, a late 60's Raleigh Competition.

More info. needed:

What decals were used on this frame? 531 (diagonal) sticker? 531 (horizontal) sticker with the stars on either side? Did the forks have decals, and if so, which one?

Parts needed:

I'd like to find a 27 inch Super Champion rim, the rim with the large oval red label that says SUPER CHAMPION - Made in France and eyelets in the spoke holes. Doesn't need to be NOS, but the better the condition,well, the better.

27.2 seat post. I think the original was an aluminum post with the step down top for a clamp, as opposed to the one piece design with the integrated cradle.

Condition, price, and photos much appreciated.

Thank you very much!
