Quite a find since I sold the components for $50 bucks and ended up with a nice vintage Reynolds frame HS and BB for $25.
It looks like a Raleigh Grand Prix Mixte and these were not made with 531 tubes but 20-30 high tensile tubing.
They are still very nice riding bikes.
If it a 531 bike it should have 531 stickers on the frame and perhaps the fork.
