The Record Ace shown is a modest upgrade of the mid-70s Record. It had a low end Sugino cotterless crank instead of a steel cottered crank, centerpull brakes instead of sidepulls, and SunTour deraillers & shifters instead of Simplex. The Record Ace was the entry level British Raleigh, just above the Taiwan-built Raleigh Rampar junk. It sold for maybe $180 new in 1978.
