I'm jealous, I had a Super Course Mark II for about 10 years, a little
lighter, maybe 24 lbs, but the best bike I've ever ridden, including a
few more modern and much more expensive bikes, I'd kill to get another.

My =only= two-wheeled ride is a 1974 Raleigh Super Course. It is heavy by
modern standards (28 lb/13 kg), but has performed nobly through many years of
urban commuting and recreational riding, and rides and handles very nicely.
The only parts that aren't original are tires (of course), brake shoes, shifter
and brake cables, pedals, the front derailleur, and a spring in the rear
derailleur.
Heck, yes, fix it up!

I have in my garage a 1973 Raleigh
ten speed bike, with the cool
curled over handle bars and duel brake thingies, that has
not been
used for at least 20 plus years. The tires have just about
rotten off,
the cables are a bit ceased and dusty.
Worth getting it "tuned up"??
I currently ride a 1990 Norco 21 speed mountain bike
