thanks for your replies!

I've just joined the Raleigh forum on Yahoo so will post up the frame there too.

I was extremely lucky to come across this frame - i'm a Brit currently living in new zealand and was talking about bikes to a colleague who used to race track and road in the late 80s. She had this frame stored under a pile of other bits and let me have it.
I'm going to live back in the UK in a year or so so it will be going "back home" to be restored!

The other amazing bike that i'm trying to buy off my colleague is a custom made to measure track pursuit bike with a rear sugino disc and wolber 650c front (banned evidently) - it's mega light and in fantastic condition - was made in the late 80s from columbus ms (i think but need to check!)

hopefully the pull of nostalgia won't be too strong so i can get my hands on this beauty!

other bikes i have include a 1979 gazelle champion mondial and a 2009 bob jackson vigorelli "path racer"
i'll post up some pics of those too
