I ride this Raleigh now, the frame is from 1976, made in Japan, size 62 [!].
Nothing special or 'of-great-value' on this bike, except for a Shimano Redline 8 gear hub, but I LOVE it and it... I am going to buy another one because of this frame is Huge and its uncomfortable to use for me [6 feet ~ 180 cm].
Here's the next one I plan - finally I can afford it

This is a ~1400 usd barely used bike.
