Greetings campers and Price Is Right contestants

Rich Cielec's recent post about 1974 Raleigh prices reminded me that I had official price lists tucked away for 1973-1980 that I never put on the early incarnation of Retro-Raleighs for some reason. Now have them scanned and sent off to Mark Bulgier for posting on his catalog website.

Sorry, nothing earlier than 73 other than my chronically unreliable memory, but my memory may be more reliable than the price lists. As with all things Raleigh, prices were also subject to change without notice. In particular, 73 price list was printed with a $400 retail price for the RRA, but that was scratched out and a $330 price written in by hand. Written in by Raleigh or the bike shop owner? I don't know. But $330 is also the price I remember them selling for. I'm sure there are other inconsistencies, but these are better than nothing.

I wonder what else is in that box, still waiting to be rediscovered....... Larry "hopelessly lost in a paper blizzard" Osborn Morgantown WV
