Nice Tall Olympian Raleigh
Another one of my wife's many yard sale finds.
What is Raleigh 555sl tubing and how does it compare to the standard "TI-Raleigh 20-30 High Carbon" that Raleigh used to use for everything they made ??

You gonna eat that?
Check out this thread, starting with Post #4 . Good double-butted tubing. I've got a 555SL Super Course, it's a pretty good bike. Assuming your wife paid garage sale prices, it was a solid deal.

Still learning
Great find.
I sold a reconditioned Olympian for over 4X your acquisition price a few months ago. Same paint and size.
