I also recall this Raleigh Comp as having been in the shops in the late '60s - price and weight competitive with the PX-10E. Sadly, I couldn't get either one!

I used to own one exactly like this frame...it had Nervex lugs, Zeus drops, a Zeus crankset, crummy Simplex shifters and Der., Luxe Competition hubs, sew-ups, the brakes were Universal 61's, Brooks saddle. It was also painted black. I wrote to Raleigh in Nottingham in the 80's to ask about the date of the build, and the letter came back stating that it was a late '60's bike. Oh, and they tossed in a set of transfers to boot. It also had the same headbadge as the one for sale. I still have the letter somewhere. I sold it because it was about 10cm too small.

I see an unusual Raleigh Competition on eBay ( 280179774761 ) that has unusual chromed lugs for a Competition model.. the lugs seem to be one of the Nervex lines and they are chromed. This is the first Competition that I have seen with those lugs. Any idea on the date or time period?? BT
