A friend just dropped this in to see if I'd sell it for him - IMG_20240325_183305.jpg just thought I'd offer it here before taking it to the shop and get it cleaned and serviced - plus replace the rsx stis with the correct 600 dt shifters. looks mostly in good order but proper barn find. Unused 25 years. £440.
 
Here's the rest of the catalogue. Can you post a picture of the underside of the bottom bracket, if it has an SB or SC prefix frame number then it would be a custom built frame 👍

IMG_20240327_091534.jpg Were raleigh trying to keep manufacture (perhaps just higher end? Although their last output was aimed squarely at the lower end of the market iirc) In Nottingham, a new tig-welding facility, circa 1992? IMG_20240327_091610.jpg
Wikipedia puts Optima at 1995, but surely this is a few years earlier?
