1973 Raleigh Competition with Nervex Lugs
I recently purchased a lovely '73 raleigh competition with nervex pro lugs at auction. Other non-spec items include: GB Maes "map of britain" bars, 3TTT stem, campy pedals, campy hubs, campy seat post, brooks professional saddle, Sakae/Ringyo Royal LA-5 crank set, and suntour bar-con shifters. Not sure if all are original but it does appear to me that the bar-con shifters and metal coil shift cable housings are orig...Bar wrap appears original as do the downtube cable stops, etc. Serial number is interesting: H316 (according to Sheldon Brown should be H followed by 4 digits). Have heard rumors of other '73s with nervex lugs, but I understand that it is quite a rare combination as most used Capella lugs. Will post a picture soon but cannot add attachments as I am still a newbie to the site.
