Ti Raleigh

[Dangermouse]

OK I wasn't looking to buy this, I was actually looking for a 1983ish Panasonic Raleigh frame, but obviously couldn't find one.
The Ti should be here on Friday, but does anyone have any idea of its vintage please.

Sorry about the image quality, its the sellers photo.

*Update*

I think I have worked it out, its serial is W B 7***** so if I have this correct, its a Worksop frame from Feb 1977 the Reynolds sticker is original and has two stars before and after the word Reynolds, this frame sticker was only used 1977 so I believe, would I ruin this if I had it restored?

Virtually the same as the Carlton Pro of the same vintage. Great frames and ride really well

The 77 frames were made in the Worksop factory, so they probably are made by the same frame builders, before it all went to SBDU Ilkeston

With the underslung gear cables it's a later Mk5 Professional from 1981, think that the 7 is in fact a 1. One of the last Worksop built Raleigh Professional frames after which they were built at the new Lightweight Unit Nottingham and became the Mk6. Good frame and the best on offer from Raleigh with the exception of the Specialist Bicycle Development Unit built frames

Thank you, I have been doing my nut in trying to find out what it is, I was wondering if it was a 1 or a 7 so I am now going to keep with this, its 1981 Worksop frame.......are you definite its 1981?
