CardiacKid it seems that we like the same bikes. I bid on the Hetchins that you won. This is not a Raleigh. I'm not saying that to deceive you as I considered placing a bid. This bike failed to sell earlier at about $520. I emailed the seller yesterday asking to confirm the serial no. but have yet to hear back. He also failed to respond to my questions on another auction. Yet he maintains a 100% positive feedback! Go figure. I believe that it's an Italvega also. Save your hard earned money for the real deal!
