I was wondering if they had more detailed specifications at their UK website, could not find the Gran Prix listed there. I wonder if this model is only sold in USA? I am starting to suspect that Raleigh is discontinuing it, thus the big price break.

With the help of Google, I found a review on the 2015 Gran Prix, published in 2016.
Review: Raleigh Grand Prix

There is an Eriks bike shop nearby and they list it on their website, I might walk over there today to see if they have one on the floor to look at. I am wondering how much clearance there really is for a bigger tire and fenders. Also would like to look at dropouts to try to figure out if the rack/fender bolt mounts look strong enough for a rack with any weight on it.
