Could be either I suppose. If it is a Raleigh it's an 86 with a Worksop serial number (they kept using them when they moved production to Nottingham for the high end stuff). There are a lot of them around here, seeing as I live near Worksop and not far from Nottingham. It could be a Carlton too of course.
I'd be surprised if it's not 653, the decals were put on at the same time as the refin, and I wouldn't expect a respected company (Rourke that is) to put the wrong decals on. It's certainly very light.
I've just Googled the Record Ace Moderne, and found some good pics of an 89 example, the frame details are identical, except mine has chrome forks and mudguard eyes. A frame only is entirely possible too though.
