I was just excited to see the web site that Steve Kurt put in his reply to, Raleigh Professional question. I'm new to the list so I have not seen the web sites available yet. I can see that the catalog downloads are not available right now, but I am sure interested in them.

I've wanted for many years to see a Raleigh International that I owned and was very sorry I sold. I'm trying to figure out if it was a 1971 or 1972. It fits the description of the 1971 in the web site, but mine was chartreuse green. I loved those nervex lugs. I guess when the catalogs are available I will find out. I've looked on e-bay for this frame or bike, so I can restore one. It is difficult to get a catalog on e-bay. They seem to be sought after. Does anyone have any pictures of these?

So for now I have a 1973 Raleigh Super Tourer frame that I've made into a International look alike. It is even the same color green, but not an International. I bought the frame new in 1973 from the Carlton Factory. Anyway after seeing all this vintage Raleigh stuff, I have the fever again.

This is a great list with great info. Everyone is super knowledgeable.
