I've been taking my time cleaning this up. It definitely isn't close to perfect, but it rides incredibly smooth and really is fast. Also, it weighed in at just 22lbs. Not bad at all.

Soon to be updated. Thanks for looking!

Nice Pro!

Submitted by abstrait on 08/09/2008.

Always great to see another early Blue Mink/Silver Raleigh Pro with the Fastback seat cluster. I used to live in Mercersburg, PA for part of the year and love the roads up there. It would have been a frightening sight to see us coming down from Cowan's Gap. I still rank the early Professional in Blue Mink as one of the most beautiful bikes made. Nice to see another edition. Throw your flicker shot in full up here! And dont repaint if you can help it ~ Looks great from this vantage point.
