The paint appeared to have cracked on both fork stays - neither myself or the LBS were sure if it was a crack but both of us thought it best to confirm with Raleigh.

I owned one of their Avanti models, wasn't too bad, some of the frame finishing was a bit Friday afternoon.
As for the Ti Replica I think you can actually source an original 753 Ti frame for about £500. The replica is not much different to the 531 Team Banana replica, which you can get for £150 in decent nick. There's only 125 of the Ti being made so it's a collectors item, hence the £2k price tag.
Wiggle had the 2012 Airlite 400 for £583. Not bad really for mostly of 105 componentry.

I've just picked up the Airlite 100 from my LBS, who fitted the new forks for £15 and handled the warranty - Simpsons in Mirfield.
Raleigh have replaced the broken alloy forks on the Airlite 100 with Carbon Aero Forks which match perfectly. Me
They appear to be from the 2013 Raleigh Avanti U6 pro carbon bike, so it should be better.

that sounds like a pretty decent out come- iv just had to have a new chain and front derailleur repaired on my old Raleigh Pro Race after a 'mechanical incident' in a reliability run at the weekend.Its good to have a good lbs at hand.
