Esteemed List Folks,
I have recently come into possession of a 1958 Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix, almost exactly the same bike as my very first ten-speed (even though it's technically an 8 speed)! It's all original except the rear rim which had been replaced sometime in the past with a Super Champion Mod. 58. Does anyone have a used 40 hole Dunlop Special Lightweight rim for sell or trade for a straight used SC? It also needs a left hand Benelux shift lever, as the one on the bike was broken off.
I have had a strict rule that I will only collect bikes that are my size (62cm and above), but since the one I owned was a 21" (I was 14 and 6'2" and rode a Double Century on it), I convinced my wife that I should have it...
Happy New Year to all!
