Mid 80s Raleigh International?

I'll be looking at a bike that looks exactly like an 84/85 Raleigh Grand Prix but has the "International" decal on it instead. Did such a thing exist? This is in Canada by the way.

The '84 and '85 grand Prix has a 'racing USA' decal on the top tube. The name was changed for the Canadian market.

So is it essentially a grand prix with a different name?

I wouldn't bet my life on, but I'm pretty sure it's the Grand Prix with a different name.

Here's an old thread on the subject, definitely a renamed GP.

Value?

100% original, near mint with a few minor paint chips. $150-$200ish I take it?

As it sits, probably closer to $150, but in that $150 to $200 range sounds about right. Are you buying? 100% original means it needs new tires, cables, handlebar tape and the bearings serviced. If you have to pay someone to do the work, it can be expensive.
