Yeah, I think I discussed a while back that mine, acquired from a list member, also says Grand Sports. Another example of Raleigh's legendary inconsistency, I guess.

1) 1973 RRA: Some of you may remember, just after last year's Cirque (which I did not attend) I picked up a very nice RRA (53cm ctc) from ebay. My plan was to sell frameset & move the original parts to my well used RRA (56cm ctc). IF someone has a 56cm, 22" RRA frameset in very good or better condition AND would like to swap for a very good 53cm, 20.5" frameset, PLEASE let me know.
2) 70's Raleigh Gran Sport (Grand Sports) blue/white, white/blue - These things are multiplying like rabbits around my house. I have 2 very good bikes, 60cm & 51cm, & 2 very tired 56cm (1 bike, 1 frameset). Again IF anyone needs the a 60 or 51 frameset, & has a 56 to trade, please let me know. In the perfect world, I'd prefer blue w/ white over white w/ blue.
One note about the GS's above: The 531 frame & fork 60cm looks just like the others, but the decals say Grand Sports instead of Gran Sport. If this has been discussed, just point me in the right direction.
I can bring any of the above to the Cirque.
