I haven't quite figured out what to do with this yet... it's my wife's late grandfather's old Raleigh Super Course of an unknown year (I'd guess it's from the late 60s but it has non-standard downtube decals for that era, or any era of SC for that matter).
So anyway, it's probably 531 maintubes at the very least. He converted it to a Sturmey
S5, which needs some work. The bike itself seems to be in very good shape, having sat in a basement for the last 15 years.
I am thinking about making some changes: one I'd like to switch (back) to drop bars and either go single-speed or come up with some light-touring friendly arrangement (I need a touring bike, I tend to commute on my trackbike as it's already been through a number of winters).
Anyway, I never seem to post photos here, and it is British and all. Feel free to chime in with advice
