I really like the Atom pedals. Spin great, looknthe part. The Raleigh Super Tourer came with unspecified Atoms and these pop up cheap ($10) on eBay, so I went for it. Plus I was hurting after
buying the single most expensive part, the $60 Record FD with cable hanger, which was a super deal.
Thanks so much for all of these clarifications. My query regarding routing for front mech cable issued from this image where it appears to be a case of "floating" housing. I see now that the housing stop was obscured by the display stand.
Some British quality frames, and it seems only British, do a housing stop mounted on the backside of the seat tube. This permits the assembler to mount either a bare cable front mech or one intended to be used with housing.
These new closeup images taken in strong light show well the metallic bits in the paint mentioned in an earlier post. The photos of the whole bike look to have been taken with an overcast sky, giving the finish the appearance of a uniform grey colour.

Absence of any serials might tend to support the idea of a contract build done, for example, for a retail chain or distributor.
