Does anyone know what Raleigh this is?

Basically I got given this bike from my dad's friend as a bigger replacement to my old racing bike that I grew out of. I have been slowly restoring it, but it became my main ride to work and back for a while when my other bike got nicked :( So it got some abuse sadly. I am sending it for a paint job because I had to get it welded in two places and I was just wondering what bike model it is. It's in the Raleigh Panasonic colours so it's after 1984, but it's 501 tubing. It's not the "Team Professional" because that's 531 and the "Pro Super" is 753. I was just wondering if anyone would know just of the top of their head. On a side note, does anyone know if that the decal on the down tube, if the name, and red and yellow flash are all one sticker. Because I can't feel an edge. It's just the decals I can buy as a separate red and yellow flash and a Raleigh sticker. I was just wondering how it was done in the factory.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Picture is a little small to identify

What is the frame number, and where is it stamped?
 
Re:

Frame number is either under the bottom bracket, or on the back of the seat tube

A close up of the Reynolds decal will also help..
 
Re:

I think you're spot on Shaun, judging by the drop outs, but the frame number will confirm! :D
 
I never noticed the frame number before because it's under the plastic cable guide, and covered in grime. But the number is 69501.
