Someone graciously posted this info quite a while back. Suggestions of for which photos to post to help us better ID a bike or frame:
Your frame is a 1977 to 1981 Raleigh Competition GS frame ( as opposed to the earlier Competition Mk II ) . They were available in black or silver and came with a Campy Gran Sport gruppo. These were also sold in Europe as the "Record" model.



UK "Record" model frame in silver.



I have a 1979 Raleigh "Record" made for the French market in Team Kit. Same frame as the Competition GS. It came with mostly Japanese components.



The frames were Reynolds 531 throughout with Bocama Short Point Professionelle Luxe lugs and Campy dropouts (BTW, Campy didn't make lugs).



The forks and and in some cases the rear triangles on these bikes had chrome plated "socks" which may have been sandblasted and painted over. Rusty chrome is one reason, personal taste another.

The head tube badges were cast aluminum and attached with 3 rivets. There was a point on the back side of the badge that fit into the central bottom hole.



The ride and handling is about the same as the earlier Raleigh Pros.

Enjoy!
