Unusual to see a lugged steel Raleigh road bike fitted with unicrown forks though, must be relatively modern (by old bike standards). Any idea of build year? Nice machine all the same, even nicer if you were given it!
I have a Raleigh '91 MTB and a '95 Pioneer hybrid, both in lugged 501 with unicrowns, so they have been around a good few years, but neither of mine have any pretensions to be fast or sporty! My '88 Gemini hybrid has old-school style brazed forks, which is what I would have also expected to see on that road frame.
