Can't find a picture of it at the moment but I did find one of the downtube decal;

Well, here's an overall shot that you can zoom in on;

OH, and this is what Lauterwassers look like. I'm gonna guess that your bars have been replaced, due to that shim in the stem. Then again, I guess maybe the stem was replaced, cause the Raleigh bars were smaller in diameter than other brands, not bigger.

Don't they look like they are this Highgate ones?
Also do you think the rings are not the original ones, right? i cant figure out what parts of the bike are original and which ones where replaced
Loved your bike and your help!
Thanks
