In 1980 I started the year racing on that bike. Was in Madison, Wi racing around the capitol and struck a pedal in a corner. Went down and bent the top tube.
There are other Raleighs from this period of 69-74 that probably had similar if not identical geometry to the Comps. I am by no means an expert, but I suspect the Professional, Super Tourer, and Internationals all had about the same geo. Might be easier to find what you want if you have a broader search.
