I looked at the Raleigh Competiton yesterday. I would rate it a fair condition. Non original front wheel and rear derailleur. Simplex shift levers and huret front may or may not be original. Decals are mostly gone. Paint chipped and scrapped. Chrome might clean up well, hard to tell. The frame is a 23" 1968 vintage. Brian Blum in Berkeley

Bob sent this notice around last week. I got some pics from the seller, and it looks like a very cool bike, with the old oval-Heron logo from what? The late 60s? Very sweet anyway.
The bike is too tall for me, but the original paint and graphics are all there, chrome looks good.
I'm glad it's too tall, last thing I need right now, but someone here might really like it.
No relation to seller, just thought it was cool, and the pics looked good. Price seems a tad high to me, but apparently it has not sold yet..so maybe she'd come down.
