Hi Mark,
I am happy to see that you have picked up the Raleigh banner left behind by Retro Raleighs.
I have the 1983 Raleigh European Team catalogue that lists all the Raleigh Team riders with pics. It is approx the same legal size docs as the 74 - 83 Raleigh catalogues. If you would like, I can scan and send in several spanned ZIP file emails...
Regards, Steve Neago
