Definitely a Grand Prix from between '66 - '70. Has geometry very close to all the better-regarded Sports Tourers in the Raleigh line-up of the era, and durable, competent components. The biggest complaint I have about it is/are the wheels. Sure, the frame tubing is a bit thicker, and it was more likely to have been brazed by one of the guys who was just back from a long lunch, or who was more intent on getting the lass in the paint department's attention than in thoroughly joining every mm of the seat stays, and not all the components were the lightest, newest or shiniest, but it is a great machine to run about town on, or to take a jaunt into the countryside with.
