A lot of money mate. Not saying I wouldn't. Even I'm not brave enough to buy that

These one off anniversary models are always interestingly priced . I don't think it's worth that but I'm not a Raleigh collector type ....

I don't either it's a standard 531 Raleigh with gold plate is how I see it. Not even Dura Ace.

Perhaps you could buy it for her, we'll screw wooden blocks to the pedals

I always thought it was odd to gold-plate a frame and then put a 105 groupset on it. I mean, if you're going to do that, go all out like Campagnolo and others did for their anniversary models. I guess they wanted it to be more affordable - a typical Raleigh compromise, you could say...

Does seem a bit strange , as you say .
