Some may have seen this frame kicking around a few Raleigh groups and forums. The guy who had it couldn't really establish if it was the real thing, but I think there is enough information to say this is actually a Jan Raas frame, so I got it - it's my size 
. This is a 58cm TI-Raleigh frame in Chesini paint. Frame number JR 1 78 T
It has all the Raleigh frame features you would expect but also has the cut down Carlton Capella lugs that very occasionally pop up on SBDU frames. These lugs weren't widely used on SBDU frames so they are quite distintive when you see them.
3 holes in the head tube and a little red paint inside the head tube.
The forks have survived without being drilled.
75 degree head angle and 73 degree seat angle with what looks like 28mm fork rake.
I believe this is the frame Jan Raas used in the SKOL 6 Day in London in 1978 when he teamed up with World Champion Gerrie Knetemann
You can clearly see the yellow detail painted into the Capella head lug circular cut outs.
The plan is to remove the blue and yellow paint scheme and have it put back to the TI-Raleigh scheme with the same picked out Capella detail.
