hi and my bike

[bananaman]

Hi just joined as im intrigued in to what type of bike i have. Im hoping all u experts can share some knowledge. Fistly It is a raleigh banana Paul Sherwin. That is all i really know. I have beentold the serial number would be on the bb to find its production date, however there is no number anywhere! Secondly it has a yellow top tube the way acroos to the seat stays as oppose to the normal yellow and black u see on most. Im thinking it is a 531 but not sure. It doesnt look like cheap components either. On the front is a mavic front mech. on the rear is a campagnolo. The wheels are campy hubs too on tubular rinms with ambrosio on the rear and mavic on the front it has wolber invurable tubulars too. It was given to me by my dads mate as he had too many. I will post pics soon. in the mean while have i got a good bike for free? It has old 105 golden arrow shifters and the brakes are upgraded from the originals to 105's too the levers are also 105's

Does it look like this one?? Albeit the colouring slightly varies.

Appreciate that the groupset sounds different too, oh and the wheels
