Brakes are nutted. No shifter stop. I waded through the Classic Rendezvous archives and found the post where I shared the weight of the 753 Raleigh Team Pro I once owned. Both weigh the same with a fixed cup. 1580g

I find I need a 27.0mm seat post as the previous owner was using a 26.8mm. Measurement of the tubing tells me 26.8mm is wrong.

I am looking forward to riding this. I recall the Raleigh as being lively.
