Welcome aboard! Your bike brings back some great old memories of my first real road bike, a 1974 Raleigh Super Course TT. My model was in the flame color and had tubular tires. Currently the frame is getting the finishing touches of a new paint job and new decals. I've gone a little from the original color and had it painted in British Racing Green with off white accents, the same as the later 70's Super Course MK's were detailed.

The bar tape on your bike looks like the original transparent tape used back then. Are those the original brake levers? Enjoy riding that bike. You can buy faster and lighter bikes but you will have to spend a lot to match the smooth and comfortable ride of the Carlton frame made from 531 chromoly and a broken in B17-N saddle.
