We believe this lovely bike has less than 50 miles on it. It still has the original tubular tires. This Raleigh was part of owner Michael Wolfe's private bicycle collection. Space limitations forced Mr. Wolfe to reluctantly deaccession this prized member of his holdings.

The relaxed geometry and generous fork rake make this a fabulous light-touring bike. The flat fork crown contributes to the front-end comfort.
The frame is built with generous clearances for fenders. Dropouts have eyelets for racks and/or fenders.
From the front. Carlton lever hoods on Weinmann levers equipped with quick-releases.
Another view of the front end.
Flat fork crown for a more comfortable rider (the blades are longer) mated to a Campagnolo headset.
Weinmann centerpull brakes, nicely finished and excellent stoppers.
The painted upper portion of the fork blades transitions to chrome plating.
Rear brake bridge with the obligatory tire saver.
The classic, a Campagnolo Nuovo Record rear derailleur. Judging by the date stamp, this is a replacement, given that the bike was made in '70 or '71.
A Brooks Professional saddle, of course.
Campagnolo pedals, Campagnolo alloy toe clips and Binda Extra reinforced/laminated toe straps.
Another view. Note that this is an older set of pedals with the toe-strap loop as part of the cage. Sweet.
The bottom of one of the Campagnolo pedals. It hasn't been scraped while attempting to pedal through a corner.
The Weinmann brake levers with their integral quick-release tabs are fitted with rare Carlton brake lever hoods. And rarest of all, it has the original Raleigh handlebar wrap.
Polished GB bar and stem
Here's a rarity, Campagnolo shift levers with an integral umbrella pump clip.
Here are the shift levers without the pump
And it is equipped with a classic Silca Impero Pump.
The Silca Impero pump has a steel Campagnolo pump head.
Another view of the Campagnolo pump head.
Here's the underside of the bottom bracket shell showing the serial number.
Another view of the BB. You can see how beautifully finished the Campagnolo crank arm spider is.
