intro'd in 1983 which matches the age of the rims. Maybe that's when the replacement fork was needed.
Not my bike but the wrap-around seatstays and headbadge made it worth posting.
Still wondering about original build if anyone knows?
These varied a lot by batch imported, at least from the bikes that came through the shop in the mid 70's for service.
It would have had tubulars though, and AVA or Weinmann rims.
The fork sure looks like an early 70's Raleigh International fork.
They were available as a replacement item, but often Raleigh only had Pro forks or International forks in inventory.
A friend crashed his International, and only a Pro fork was at the distributor at that time.
