Need help with a fake Raleigh
Picked up this "Team Raleigh" earlier this week for the Stronglight triple that was on it. PO had said in his ad that it wasn't a real Raleigh, but he couldn't remember what it was. It has a few distinguishing features, but I haven't been able to match them yet. The only other bike I've found with the same lug shape so far is a Motoconfort.
It's not high-end, but it's my size so I'm thinking that with an AW hub, dark green paint and gold-lined lugs it might be a nice tourer.
Any idea what it could be? TIA.

VAR makes/made a jaw for their fixed cup tool specifically to fit this unique cup.

I think you are right. I just googled a few Flandria's and those lugs and pump pegs appear there too. Cool! I have a couple of Superia's and a Flandria was really kind of missing ...

Yes, the sleuthing power of C&V is enormous! I'm still unsure what to do with it. 700c wheels look a little lost in this frame, so maybe 27" with fenders? Some red Bluemels maybe?

Measured it in situ: 123 mm. Don't know what the taper is, though.
EDIT: took the spindle out and checked: it's a Stronglight. It is marked '125' and measures close to 124 mm. Other markings are 'A' and 'S' on one side and '2' and '25' on the other.

original spindle would have been cottered with a satin chrome finish and marked in the centre "FLANDRIA MADE IN PORTUGAL" in quite small letters.
shell BSC thread & 70mm in width.

Black would look good. Prefer the Club Specials' shape, though, with the ridge.
