1974 Raleigh Carlton International - How Did I Do?

I bought this off of the son of the original owner for $300, plus a signed copy of my novel Savannah Gone. Handlebars are very narrow, like the International came with, but they are covered in "nerf" foam grip. Seller thought his father may have added the grip, but he was not sure. The original Brooks Professional saddle was removed back in 1974 & replaced with another saddle, and it is pristine & came with the bike when I purchased it. Size is 24.5, & it seems to fit me perfectly. Campy hubs, F & R derailleurs, & shifters are in beautiful condition, as are the Weinmann Brake Calipers & Levers and the Nervex Lugs. Bike is clean, w/ nice paint & zero rust. Cell phone pics don't do it justice. I'm anxious to put the Brooks back where it belongs & take it for a spin.
