Adored these for decades. It was in decent shape but relegated to single speed duty. The Craigslist seller wisely kept the original parts but most of them were pathetically past their prime. Came with a Brooks B17 narrow saddle which may end up back atop the seat post.Original brake hardware was too far gone to justify any investment. Rusty parts wouldn't do this Doris Day of Raleighs justice. Same bike as the catalog Gran Sport but with the marketing team name change to toughen up the image. That's the story I heard long ago anyway.
