I like old Raleighs, but the record was not special enough to fetch that price Here is some infor on it. http://sheldonbrown.com/retroraleighs/record.html. Also, I have no experience with Huret Alvit components but I haven't read anything good about them.

I spent too much on an old bike before I realized just how many good ones are out there, Take Kurt's advice and keep looking.
