1974 Raleigh
Professional Mk IV

This '74 Pro has been treated roughly, but actually had very few miles racked up on it when I became its third owner. I rebuit it and used it as a commuter until a driver ran a red light one evening and T-boned me and the bike. I broke a couple of ribs and the bike's frame was totaled, though most of the components survived. They'll be installed on a replacement frame that I already have scored, a '70 Raleigh Pro in the brown-mink/silver paint scheme, just as soon as I can get some cooperation from Allstate Insurance Company, which feels that no 30 year old racing bike could be worth more than $300. I have included photos of the MkII Pro frame as well.
