Subject: [CR]Funky RALEIGH Question & eBay Outing !

Hi again gang,

I've got an oddball Raleigh called a "Grand Sports"... It looks pretty much the same as the '73 "Gran Sport"; same white with light blue panels, and almost the same equipment & frame specs. Is anyone familiar with a "Grand Sports", and why might they have called this one something different? I'm pretty sure it IS a Raleigh... Here are a couple of pictures:

I had a look through several Raleigh catalogs, but see no mention of this Grand Sports. After I figure out what this bike really is, I was planning on sticking it on eBay. It's in very nice original condition, so one of you Raleigh people may want it... (I need to make some room... too many bikes!)

Thanks for any info!

Cheers,
