What Raleigh is this?

Looks like it could be a Professional Mk6 frame with a different fork

Now I wondered if it was a Professional and the fork crown was confusing me...

Was there a Professional mk 6?

Was there a Professional mk 6?

The Nottingham Lightweight Division built frames with side attached seat stays became the Mk6

Thanks for all the information!

I was looking for more Mk6 photos but can only find one!

Mk6 got the diver bell cable guides, shifter bosses and the change from the threaded seat lug that took a single allen bolt to a different seat lug that took a two piece allen bolt fixing ..also under bottom bracket cable guides.

The Mk7 Professional for 83 got the fastback seat stays but the head lugs were different, full underside cable guides and sloping fork crown, need to see the frame number and dropouts
