Raleigh Question

[Silver Shadow]

Can anyone give any info on this please? It seems to be a full Exage groupset.
Although some of the parts are a little rusty all seems to be working ok.
Is it worth giving a full going over? Are the parts of a decent quality?

From the decal font Looks to be early 90's probably one of the last series lugged steel lightweight frames before all the dyna tech nonsense took over . If the frame is your size it's certainly worth upgrading but the exage wasn't bad lower level stuff.

Nice bike @vcballbat will be able to date it. Worth a re grease, polish and ride it. Exage works fine.

Many thanks

Ride it with the bolt out, it will loosen in a couple of hundred yards. Edit didn't read properly

Can you post a picture of the underside of the bottom bracket shell, should be a letter before the frame number
