"Raleigh" Castorama 653 Frame & Forks

I believe this to be a Cyfac built team replica frame, Cyfac being the French frame builder who produced many of the steel team frames for Systeme U & Castorama. Certainly the rear brake bridge, seat cluster and lck of brace between the seat stays are Cyfac characteristics.

653 tubing , 53.5cm seat tube and 55cm top tube. Columbus drop outs on forks, unbranded on rear, braze on for front mech and internal routing for rear brake cable.

Could do with a respray in my opinion, but also good enough to leave original as no significant signs of corrosion. Plenty of pics to judge for yourself below, and I can provide more if you would like?

Looking for £195, will post at cost in UK but happy for collection.
