I bought this bike a few months ago and have replaced the tyres with gran bois 38mm and put on a set of velo orange aluminium mudguards costing £130.
The groupset and wheels look like they haven't been used much, I've put around 500miles on this bike and it rides well. I'm only getting rid of it as I like to change my bike quite often to keep commuting interesting.

This is what the seller I bought it off said, not much really to add.
Looking for £250 plus postage.

Rare, awesome and far too small for me, no matter what I try.
Raleigh USA made these in the 80s as their top-of-the-line 'adventure' tourer, but I'd never heard of it before. It has mostly original parts - XT chainset and mechs XT brakes. The bike came with downtube shifters but they weren't on it when I bought it so I've fitted Ultegra bar ends (friction). Cockpit should have been some shimano bits and randonneur bars but they didn't come with it so it's now got Cinelli stem and bars, and Exage levers. Brooks is also non-original and barely worn in.
It's all running fine but needs a new set of tyres as the sidewall on both has worn.
These are highly regarded in the US and reach >$1000 but I've no idea of the market here so for a quick sale I'd like £350 posted in the UK, or less if you can collect in York/Leeds area (or I can drive it to you).
Condition can be seen in the photos but no issues, just a bit of surface rust/rub around where the rear brake cable meets the top tube.
Seat tube and stem move freely, headset is all good.
