Long shot, but is there an archive of Raleigh road bikes somewhere? with pics? I'm trying to trace the model of Raleigh road bike my father had in the 80's/ early 90's.
From what I remember it was nothing special, red frame with some black (possibly chequer flag style?) decals, maybe the model name was in yellow?, and the tyres were skinwalls with just a simple grooved tread (just like lines of tread around the circumference of the tyre (III) ).
not much to go on I know, but I'm sure if I saw a pic of it I'd recognise it immediatley.
