Referencing the comments below, my one previous owner, very original 1974 Raleigh Team Pro came to me with a 3ttt Record stem and 3ttt Superleggera bars. Could they have been swapped out at some time? Sure, but I doubt it as anything on the bike that was swapped out was included in the sale to me (saddle and freewheel).

"Not if it had a Brooks Team Pro boat anchor errrr... saddle mounted ! You replaced that with a 3ttt with the aluminum rails or something similar and 3ttt Superleggera bars while you were at it."
True maybe but who would want to give up a Brooks Team Pro saddle for one of those yucky moulded thingys! Well the Raleigh Team but they were paid t o ride on Cinelli type saddles... you'd have to do the same to get me to give up my Brooks!
Oh, I thought Team Pros of this era had 3ttt stems and Superleggere bars anyway? My '75 has the stem but GB silver anodised bars as per the catalogue specs.
