Found a 2003 NOS Raleigh that I'm kinda interested in. Its a steel frame, Campy Centaur (10spd?). In any case I can't find much info or reviews on the later Raleighs, but it seems like what I am looking for at a good price. Curious if anyone has any input?

raleigh with centaur...hmm is that the one with columbus tubing /carbon frame? If so, those are freaking sweet. I havent rode one, but I've wanted one for soo long. I'm waiting till i reach my target weight before I spoil myself rotten though.

heres the link to it, it looks pretty nice. I think that zona is the lower-end steel, but I still think its probably pretty good.

I have a raleigh heritage international that has campy and zona steel frame. It also has a carbon fork, it's red white and blue. I really like mine. I swapped out the handlebars though.
