Has anyone ever see a Raleigh "PORTAGE"? It has high flange SR hubs, 40 rear, 36 front. But the rims are black, Raleigh 650 X 35B. Down tube decals with Raleigh 555t, double butted main tubes, designed and engineered in the USA. Raleigh Cycle Co. of America. It came with great randoneer bars called Body Geometry, Suntour Indexing, 6 speed bar cons, Shimano "Deer" deraillurs. It is mettalic green, with an old gold head tube. The decals are gold. Appreciate your ideas, Paul Williams, high 70's and windy today in Bezerkeley, CA
