I picked up a doppelgänger to my existing, 61cm, 1984 Raleigh USA Super Course today - namely, another 61cm, 1984 Raleigh USA Super Course:



The frameset is in relatively poor condition (gigantic touchups are abound - everywhere), but the frameset isn't important - just look at the components!

Bragging rights go to the fellow who can list every replaced component on it.

You dog! My buddy Joe and I were severely tempted to pick that one up when it popped up on CL, glad it went to a BF member! The Super Record RD, Modolo brakes & levers are obvious, and Joe thinks the cranks have Colnago pantographing (worth the asking price of the entire bike if correct.) Sweet deal!

This only goes to prove that you CAN have TWO much of a good thing.

Hear, hear!

Even the people who assembled those cannot answer that question
Reason being is that the components in most of the Raleigh USA bikes were not specified other that "aluminum" or "steel" or "lightweight".

All I can tell from this shot is that the RD is probably original (pretty much most Raleigh USA bikes got a long cage "GT" suntour RD), but the corncob that goes with is is not, so probably the wheel is not original as well. Of course the brake levers and the brakes do not belong as well. If the stem is not pantographed is not original (but I cannot tell.) Crank looks like it might be. Cannot tell about the FD or shifters from the pictures...

I should have re-phrased that to read "...who can list all the Campy parts that someone put on it." All SC's originally had Shimano 105 Golden Arrow w/Dia-Compe A300 brakes.

The complete list of bits:
NR high flange front hub
NR low flange rear hub
Ambrosio Extra 19 black anodized rims, DT SS spokes
Regina BX 6-speed corncob
Super Record RD, pat.84
Suntour Cyclone FD - has a different pivot arm to what I'm normally accustomed to seeing (original would have been 105)
Modolo Equipe brakes
White Campagnolo hoods (!)
Cinelli/Selle San Marco Volare saddle
Italian-threaded Super Record headset w/incorrect lower raceway
ITM stem w/newer CODA bar
Extremely light pedals of which I have no idea what they are
Campagnolo Record crankset...
...with a cut-and-pantographed Ernesto Colnago Nuovo Record chainring:

You know that that crank by itself (forget the crank, just that ring) will probably get you more than what you paid for the whole bike, don't you?

cudak888 

Yep. What's worse is that I'll probably end up hoarding the ring

- Well if you do decide to sell it , let me know: That ring would look great on my Varsity.
(Oops! I'm gonna rot in Hell for saying that!)

Especially with the Super Record RD!

cudak888 

Ok, now you two are giving me ideas...

Repaint one of the Twenties in Colnago livery and campify that!

Ring doesn't clear the chainguard mount
