I currently have a 25" SC
with integrated derailleur hanger in the Atelier for a future 1X conversion, but it's green. I subconsciously chose the red and white scheme when I had Ed Litton paint my first 650b conversion, torched up by Peter Weigle.
Thanks, Mark. Your posts on these US market Raleighs were one reason the SC sort of sneaked its way up on my wish list.
