I found this pearl red Raleigh super course frame at a swap meet in Feb. It took me a while to figure out that the bottom bracket is standard English (24 tpi) threaded. So was able to install a new Shimano bb. Most of the components are lifted from a 80s Univega Nuovo Sport including wheels, derailleurs and cranks. The frame is set up for 700c wheels with 120mm rear dropout spacing. The Univega wheels (Sansin hubs / Araya rims) are 27s with 126mm rear hub. I think I may have voided the warranty persuading the rear triangle to accommodate the wider hub.
