The Raleigh Team in yellow, red, and black has long been on my radar. Ditto with Paramounts, though both lines of bikes seem to be highly coveted by collectors and are priced accordingly.
This 1987 Serotta frame cost less than $250. The total build was about $800. Better than any other steel bike for my needs.
