Subject: [CR]1970s RALEIGH team videos

Hello CR list: I was browsing the Velo News site recently and found some incredible videos of the 1970s Raleigh team during the 1973 Tour of Ireland as well as the 1999 Raleigh Team 'CRC of A' 25 year reunion. Some of you may have already known about the videos there, but just in case you don't I'm doing this post. Attendees to the reunion were the likes of John Howard, John Allis, Bill Humphreys, Bobby Phillips, Dave Chauner, Doug Dale, etc. There is vintage footage of the 1970s Milk Race on the 'Raleigh Boys' video series. All videos are free there. Amazing. Here's the link http://www.velonews.com/vntv/ Back in the 70s, I had done a bit of riding with the team myself at one of their training camps. I'm still looking to pick up a nice 753 Team Pro one of these days when I can find one.

I know there are a lot of fans of the Raleigh Team Pro out there, and those videos offer plenty of coverage showing how the bikes were equipped during the day, etc.
