Submitting for your viewing pleasure: I believe this is a 1977 Raleigh Sprite. East Hill suggested I submit pics of a few of my rides. Bike is in excellent mechanical condition, paint is near perfect. Rear fender was bent up when tire burst off wheel @ 75 PSI. I am seriously considering selling this jewel as I have too many bikes.
I'm trying to confirm the manufacture date and get an idea of the approximate value of this model with the following specs: (New brake pads and tires)

Huret deraileurs and stem shifters, self-adjusting brakes, Nexmar? cranks, original pedals and hubs, Brooks saddle, 27 x 1 and 1/4 chrome rims, factory supplied al. rack, full front and rear fenders with rear reflector mounted on fender. Decals intact, 2030 high carbon tubing steel frame made in Nottingham England.
