Bob,

Brilliant! That's the find of a lifetime. Congratulations!

What really jumped out at me is the color scheme on the seat tube. Raleigh used nearly the exact same one on their 1969-1970 Professional. I'd heard it theorized that Raleigh chose the scheme because it was the colors of the National flag of someone there who had influence, but after seeing this, I'm quite skeptical of that explanation.

You are bringing that to Cirque aren't you? ;)

Cheers,

John Barry
