Went with a Phil Woods BB. Also, chainrings were whooped, so I put a Campagnolo Strava 55/42 in near new condition. Brooks B5N was ditched in favor of a new Brooks Swift saddle, copper rivets and chrome rails in antique brown. I hope I showed it the love previous owner did.

spanner twistin' tip -

the manufacturer's instructions for mounting the Suntour VGT rear mech advise to adjust the angle of the pantograph so that is is parallel to the chain stay for best performance

Awesome! Thank you! Hopefully I got it right(?) Removed brake lever covers(seemed odd) and put toeclips/straps on.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
I like brake lever covers, and yours were tasteful. Covers provide a much better grip and feel in wet or dry weather although some additional weight. I have added many to my personal bikes, and those requested by clients (usually already installed before sale; they help with the marketing!).
I also add QR (hub and seat clamp) and shifter lever covers on my personal bikes for function and protection.

Looks great regardless!!

So do I and have several Schwinns with them, but something seemed strange when on the Raleigh. I still have replacement decals to install but am procrastinating.
