Hell-o All. This is my first posting to any list.
Raleigh International, S/N F1715, 1971(?)
I'm sure to have many specific inquiries later. For now, here is the situation.
Frame set needs entire grouppo. It will be a rider, not a museum show piece so, high quality components correct-to-period-sort-of are acceptable. I assume OE was some flavour of Campy R/NR/SR and Weinmann.
Can anyone suggest high quality components (manufacturer & model) other than Campy ? I'm familiar with the names of several manufacturers but honestly don't know enough to discern whether bad or good and ditto for any models. No Shimano, please.
Any Raleigh people out there ?
