I paid 375 for my RRA in 74, though the dealer had a 450 price tag on it. He threw in a pump, bottle & cage and a pair of gloves to sweeten the deal.

Possibly erroneous memory on my part when I wrote some of that stuff for

R-R. I keep forgetting about that little mistake. The bike I have now has a Brampton headset, as do most of the ones I've seen in recent years. The bike in my mind may have been just another Raleigh fluke with a Stronglight. I wouldn't have noticed the difference back then.
