Please help identify my mystery Raleigh!

JonStourcat

Retro Newbie
Built this up from a frame brought from a friend last year,
the serial is - WM2003102
All he knew(or thought he knew) about the frame was that it was one of the Raleigh Ti frames to come out of Worksop in the 70's.
I've been through multiple online catalogues and found nothing about this frame, he also thought the fork crown was Cinelli.
Any info would be greatly appreciated, I love riding it and am keen to know more about it.
Thanks, Jon

Frame number is from 1982. The Clubman was red but I'll wait until the *real* Raleigh guys arrive :D

Thanks

That rules out it being an American one then!

Shimano Golden Arrow headset suggests circa 83, but the Sachs Huret band on shifters suggest low end Raleigh..

Fork crown is also circa '84/85

Got me stumped..

Guessing it's been painted at some point, as the decals on the seat tube don't look very 80's
 
All the parts have been added to it, shifters, headset etc.
The paint job looks original, perhaps redone by a professional hand a long time ago.
Thanks for looking
 
Thanks, I'm no expert so I'll take your word, reckon the forks are original?
Any idea what tubing the frame would be?
 
Being a 'Worksop' frame it'll be Reynolds 501 at the least

The lack of braze on bosses for gear shifters still has me dating it pre 1980, and if it is that old then the forks are definitely not original...
