>From what I remember about Raleigh anything can be right. If they did not have the correct part they would use something else. We would get bikes in all the time with the wrong by the book parts some very nice up grades. Steven

I dragged home what appears to be a pretty original 1973 or so International. Everything except for the bars/stem and brake levers seems to be right. But the front brake caliper is a Weinmann "610 Vainqueur 999", and the rear caliper is a GB "Coureur 66". Which one (if either) is the correct caliper for this bike?
Also, any hints on how to deal with a loose headbadge rivet on this bike. The top one is loose and the Heron's beek is going to snag a rag one of these days. I have the fork out so would be a good time to fix this.
Thanks much, Jon Williams
