Ghost Super Course 12 speed
First post here (Thanks for letting me in the door!).
Out of love and guilt, I'm reviving my Raleigh Super Course 12-speed that I bought new; in what year I cannot remember exactly!
The Serial number is WK9003100, which looks to be a 1979(?) vintage made in Workshop/Nottingham. All original parts, except some of the steel cable covers a shop swapped out when doing a tune-up in 2002
It has suntour cyclone DR, weinmann concave rims and side-pull brakes, down tube shift.
I looked at a 1979 catalogue online, and do not see this bike (just the 10 speed). In fact, I can find precious little about it anywhere - lots of stuff on the 10 speed (photos, specs etc), but scarcely anything on the 12.
The bike has the following decals: "made by Raleigh of England", "Reynolds 513 butted tubing", "12-speed" "Carlton", "Super Course 12", "made in England", "Team Ti-Raleigh Winner Tour de France 1978 World Champions".
Hoping for some insight into this bike, where to find specs or more information...
Thanks much!!!!

Welcome to the forums. If all the specs but the number of gears match it could be the freewheel was upgraded after the catalog was printed or even a typo in the catalog.
Any pics?
