A Team Replica in 653? Is this possible? It looks like the usual 531c to me.

Probably a custome ordered 653 Race frame that the buyer asked to be painted team colours, Raleigh used to happily do this as there are several guys on the MTB side who have had either an Maverick Pro SBDU or Dynatech 2070 frame painted in either Banana, Catorama or later blue/yellow team colours. Only problem is there are no enough close ups to tell what the frame is exactly. Still it's better than the other couple I have seen go through where guys have tried to pass off a repainted 501 record Sprint frame as a 531 lightweight or a 531 training/tri frame as a 531c.
