Another one we can't take much credit for, but here it goes. This is a 1973 Raleigh Competition built by Carlton. This year was built with Carlton lugs from the 50's, apparently when the builders found a case of the unique lugs that had been previously lost. Any other year of the Competition would have been built with Nervex lugs. We rebuilt this bike to it's former self using NOS Huret Jubillee derailleurs, new TA chainrings, and fresh grease all around.

We can't take much credit for this one, the owner knows exactly what he likes and wants. This is a 1981 Mercian road bike, handbuilt in England and sold in the US. We did an overhaul on this one, stripping the bike down to it's frame and repacking/replacing all the bearings. A quick test ride down the street proved this is a very capable road machine!
