Raleigh Frame Identification

[SuperS]

I've seen this on ebay and was wondering if anyone knows what model the bike is.

Re:

With the chrome dropouts, I'd suggest that it was one of Raleigh's Off the Peg series from the late '80s and built up into a bike by the owner.

Anyone else?

Re:

It's a later eighties frame for sure, I've not seen that particular colour scheme before though...

Seller says frame number is WD3 - so that is Nottingham 1983. The parts are 1050 which is 1985 minimum. The ends of the stays around the chrome ends are not masked very well so looks like a respray.

Didn't go for it, top tube a little on the short side. Got myself a Peugeot Comp 500 instead.
