While I agree 100% with everything else you wrote, this is a bad assumption. I deal with non-conformance (NC) on parts/finished goods all of the time. They most definitely occur most frequently with first lot to stock (FLTS). Considering the low volume of this bike, I think it is safe to assume the entire batch was FLST.
I'm right behind you as this being a rushed and barely thought out last-minute mess. Probably explains why they capped the production low too - minimize losses, maximize press coverage, hell with the rest.

Blobs of weld have historical merit. My 73 Gran Sport is a tribute to the 70's bike boom apprentice brazier at the Carlton factory.

"I’ll admit I was expecting the TI-Raleigh to be mostly mouth and not all that much flared trousers, especially with its weight of 9.8kg, but I was completely wrong. It was lively, responsive and exciting yet smooth. When I mentioned this to a framebuilder friend of mine, he said: “Of course. It’s 753.”"
So... 'mouth' is bad and 'flared trousers' is good??

Seems a bit ambiguous/nonsensical to me.

I read it as 'talk the talk, walk the walk'.

Did Raleigh screw up their 40th Anniversary Replica??
Sure they definitely did,.......... otherwise we would not be going through all the palaver in this long thread, and everybody would have been swooning over the bike and the framesets would have been sold out, way before they were even officially issued.
