I've no idea whether this is good value, but if I were 30 years younger (or a bit more) I might just buy it and not worry too much:

That’s a really old 531 decal on a more modern frame which is a bit odd, lugs are thick and almost Carlton Crespera like, (but it’s not a Carlton). Just looks like a cheaper frame with Knight Decals ?

The rear dropout looks a bit different as well

Looks a bit of a bodge job to me, nice Raleigh frame but it has a triple so not 14 gears and the shifter bosses are redundant probably cos whoever slapped it together didn't know you could buy cable stops to fit over them................and 'twistgrip gearshifters'

I wonder what it is underneath the flat bar conversion from drops ?

After my time but is it a randomneur ?

Nothing that can't be sorted easily especially if it doesn't go much higher

But then there's a Pk10e for sale locally at low cost 🤔

Don't think so as they normally had a set of braze ons for a pr of spare spokes
