That groupset is indestructable. I've had my Apex from new and the groupset has outlasted XT stuff on my other bikes - seems strange as the Exage groupsets were always low rent - but this one is all metal, unlike the older Exage stuff which was very plasticky.

I have scanned in a couple of Raleigh K2 Series brochures that may be of interest (1992 and 1993):
