To be contrarian, I'd like to slap a new Raleigh frame on my little aligning table and check it against, say,
the '74 International I used to have. No bets on the
old one being the straighter--it son't be! Also, sure
modern bikes look similar to each other but how
different do a '70's Paramount, Raleigh, Mondia,
Crescent, and/or you name it look from each other with
paint off?
