Upgrades for the Raleigh Competition that I am lucky to call my own: moustache handlebar, Shimano 600 brake levers, bar end shifters, restringed San Marco Rolls saddle and finally a decent front rack. Super happy rider :-)
The only drop of bitterness is the fact that my smart ass ripped apart the formerly working internal wire routing for the back light at the fork/head tube joint when I put in the new stem. Kind of a bummer π₯²
Absolutely beautiful! What’s the kickstand back there?

Is this a repaint / redecal? I don’t think I’ve seen one that looks quite like this. What year is it?

Sweet ride. Did you end up ripping out the front light as well? Gotta put that hub to good use!

I love my moustache bars. The thing you might try is a stem with a rise. You then angle the bars down a bit it gives you much different had placement. Look at the way they were used on Bridgestone bikes. It is much more comfortable
