Got one of them long cage thingies in me French Fancy collection...just waiting patiently at the local Household Recycling Centre for the RH frame to show up..

It's a Huret Success rear mech, frame built with a braze on especially for the front mech... https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/huret_success_2460_1st_style_derailleur.html

Time to get the Dynaflite ready for some summer rides and get rid of them mudguards holding back it's full aero potential. Also time for a new set of Continental Grand Prix Classics, luckily I bought a few extra pairs at the start of the restoration. Continental have stopped making them for some...

Lots of catalogues to look through, looks like the frame design had a long production run. The Ops bike has probably got the holes in the mudguard 👍 http://threespeedhub.com/catalog-category/bsa/

The 1935 catalogue specs a Terry saddle 🤔

Very nicely built frame for very little cash 👍 Thread 'Ribble 531 Competition Raw Steel' https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/ribble-531-competition-raw-steel.419928/

You can ask Cyfac for more information on your frame. . https://www.cyfac.fr/contact/

It's Fignon's very special lightweight climbing bike built in aluminium by Sabliere for stage 17 of the Tour de France.. Gap - L'Alpe d'Huez 👍

Wow, what a great find, always nice to find ex team bikes and get them back to how they were originally. This is Laurent Fignon's 1991 Raleigh, the switch from Campagnolo to Shimano DuraAce has been made 👍

Looks like the UK spec Europa frame has been used and better spec wheels, this is the 1974 catalogue going by the second version of decals 👍

Definitely original as new condition, the second version of the Ti Team Raleigh decals with no black outline which are unobtainium and not yet being reproduced though I do have several sets of originals 👍

A rare bird in 753 😉

But it would look great in Team colours 👍

Very nice looking frame guessing it's a 1983 build 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156856059332?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cs-RBaKjTPu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hiIhcVWxQfO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Looks like a 1982 Raleigh Competition in Reynolds 531 with Vitus dropouts, very nice to find in such original condition 👍
