That is a beauty ! 8 speed is a great idea,single chainring w/ upright bars will be functional and look sweet. Congrats on a nice find.Looking forward to see what you come up with.

I had a reynolds 531 Raleigh Carlton and that thing was so smooth to ride.

Nothing as smooth as Reynolds 531 steel tubing....
I have a Raleigh International and it's like a magic carpet.

congratulations, Gran Sport is a great find.

It's also great low-trail geometry for a front-load bike.
Please post photos of your project.
