Just picked up this beauty (another keeper!). Bought from the original owner and absolutely 100% original. Never had a cable or tyre change. Rear der pat marked '82 and the regina oro freewheel dated 81. Specs are spot on to the 1982 Bulgier Raleigh catalogue even down to the sturmey archer 'sportif' clips and straps & clement ritmo tubs. Will have to replace the lever hoods but they are the type with 'campagnolo' written in old script over a globe not the later SR sheild type which I bought for my panasonic team build. It is very dirty and oily which has probably helped preserve the bike and help the overall condition. The gold sedis chain and regina freewheel still shiny gold under all the cruddy oil!
Odd that it only has the number 4 on the BB shell and maybe a T or F the other side of the cutouts....... should really have a W..........
I love it!
