Got my hands on one of these Raleigh Randonneurs from the late 1990s with Reynolds 708 frames. It's in pretty good shape, although somethings up with the headset - its stiff when I turn the handlebars to one side. Have disassembled, cleaned, and regreased, and there's no sign of pitting...so not too sure what's going on.
Am thinking of going neo-retro with some Tiagra 4700 brifters and RD, tektro 720 cantis but will keep the Sugino cranks.
