Old School Grand Master
This is my 1st attempt at a roadie so please be gentle 
This is a 1989 531 cLuxe which was offered to me in the summer in the form of NOS frame and forks still with wrapping :shock: It also came with 105 brake calipers and 600 6sp shifters all NOS also.
When I was offered the F&F's I naturally searched for info on this model but could not find anything. Luckily the Guv'nor came up trumps with a picture of the actual model in the 1989 Raleigh lightweight catalogue. The 531 cLuxe was a special order frame and forks only.
Since June I have collected several parts for the build which consist of a mix of 600 and 105. I have changed to 7 speed as 6 speed is so hard to find now. Its taken me a while to get all the parts yet only a couple of hours to complete.
Special thanks to wblenkin for the seatpost and Ed Edwards for the front mech that both arrived this am
I will get some pedals and some nice outside pics at the weekend all going well and will put a full spec listing also.
