Can anyone identify this old Raleigh?

I think Keith was saying that the ebay listing was over-describing a very ordinary bike...

Hmmm

Tange sloping crown forks, circa 1984-86

Frame number on BB suggests Lightweight built, but frame number will nail it

Thanks looking.

Will there be another number other than the one on the BB?

Re: Re:

I reckon similar to the one in the catalogue below ... Type 8806 training. Apart from the seat stay engraving. Fork crown is similar and it has mudguard clearances etc

Thanks for the link. That's frustratingly close... But unless the seat stay engraving has been filled in by paint it's not it. Also mine doesn't have brazed on shifter bosses. It's all band on.
