Mystery craigslist bike; Raleigh?
Past experience has proven bikes stored outside should be avoided. But, I just cannot resist the potential to find a gem in the rough. This photo is from a Craiglist post for a Cannondale. But look to the right of the blue Cannondale. There is a mystery black bike with what looks like a Campy downtube shifter and maybe Campy pedals. Is that a Raleigh sticker on the left chainstay?
Whats going on with the seat stays? I emailed the seller. See what happens.

incazzare.
It says Raleigh on the chainstay.
Maybe a Competition with a replacement fork?

I think it’s a Raleigh Competition G.S. with replacement fork and stem. Good luck! I suspect those are as much fun as the earlier Competition Mk. II. Raleighs brought back from the dead are my specialty these days, it seems!
