Hi Pat, all. My first good 10 speed was that Raleigh, a 1972 Raleigh Competition [w/ a '71 "F" serial nunber]. I loved it. I don't see what all the hubbub is about. There are no guy or gal colors just colors. Hell, if the seller would knock about a grand off the BIN i'd agree to only ride it in a skirt! What's your size? i'll keep an eye out for a Competition for you. Cheers. Billy Ketchum; Chicago, IL; USA.

"...looks like a woman's bike..."

About 25 years ago my brother-in-law bought a Raleigh Competition painted a beautiful lilac color.  It's the only Raleigh of that color that I've ever seen, and I've been searching for one ever since.  I'd be proud to ride either the Colnago or the Competition. That color was a reflection of the times, and to me, timeless.

  Peter,   It is pretty, but to me it looks like a woman's bike and at 58 cm, a tall   woman.   I would be as self conscious on it as I would be driving a new style VW   Beetle.

  Not so much an eBay "outing" as an excuse to comment that, to me, 'nagos   (don't you just hate when people call them that!) had, hands down, the best   colours of any Italian marque in the '70s:
