Hello all! I couldn't pass up buying this Raleigh last December as it was in such good shape. Only have a few "before" pictures - I always forget. I can't stress what great shape this bike is in. Owner said it was a 1976 - no serial number tag but it seems to me to be a 1977.I'm about 1/2 through cleaning, re-greasing everything, etc. I'd like to sell the bike once done. My question to the group is am I better off using the orignal shifter/derailleur cable housings and handle bar tape or replacing with new? They "aged" in coloring but are in perfect shape and do not bind sables at all. I am replacing the cables for cosmetic reasons really. Have to buy new tires. Originals were completely dry rotted.

I've added pictures below.
