1995 Raleigh Grand Prix?
Anyone have knowledge of this bike? A friend of mine asked me about this bike as he's looking to purchase it for 150.
He supplied me with a useless photo - dark and grainy, can't make out anything but that it has downtube shifters.
I don't know Raleigh but for the old 3 speed my mother had. The info I get from Googling is only only on the current/recent line.
Any info would be appreciated!

You might also post in the vintage forum.
Yeah the price seemed pretty good. I didn't know for sure if the bike was. I'll surely pass this on to my friend, and perhaps, check out what the C&V guys have to say.
