'78 Carlton Raleigh Super Course

[Real1]

We have two of these frames hanging in the rafters at the collective.
If you want.... We have VX and Cyclone stuff out the wazoo. Msg me if you want.
You could check out the disreally gears website to get the lowdown on Suntours derailleurs.

Is this somewhere in Iowa?

When I was in college, a bike shop I went to had SunTour gear set stuff in a glass case on red velvet. OHHHHHH....AHHHHH

W/O = wired-on

this is the correct term for thus type of rim/tyre

common modern term is "clincher" which is incorrect

a true clincher rim/tyre is something different and obsolete by generations

The o.p. should check to see if his rims are NOT hooked; I have always taken the "W/O" stamping to mean "use a wire-bead tyre, not a folding one".

I don't know if the administrators will allow this, but here is a site that extensively discusses the SC:https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/628947-show-us-your-raleigh-super-course.html

Basically three types of rims; tubular(glue on racing tires), clinchers(have a bead inside the rim) and tubeless. What's important is that you don't make the mistake of trying to put 700 tires on a 27" rim. Close, but no cigar.
