Greetings campers and "mink brown & gray" aficionados
Accidentally adopted a 1970 Raleigh Pro Mk II, Limited Edition bike, almost original except the rims were changed to Weinmann concave clinchers early in it's life. I've seen so many rim variations on these over the years I don't know what was original equipment, and when I was staring at these in the bike shop many moons ago, I certainly wasn't checking out the rims. Do any of you Ltd Ed Pro owners or sellers, past or present, remember what tubular rims actually came on these bikes? Weinmann? AVA? Something else? Everything else? VERY early in the production run (#6), if that has any bearing at all on the rims. No, that level of detail is not in the 70 catalog, at least not the ones I've seen.
Freewheel was also changed to a Suntour Perfect, so any clues as to original would be appreciated. It's a 5 speed.
TTT Gran Prix stem, looks like there may have been a sticker on it at one time. I seem to remember some of those stems having a big yellow sticker (as if the stem wasn't ugly enough by itself), but I don't know for certain.
Any info would be appreciated.
