I did a 100 mile run in the highlands , & various shorter runs , some on poor surfaces, & the bikes not put a foot wrong, so far the repairs seem to hold fast, I’m glad that I’ve managed to bring back a super frame to working condition,& saved it from the skip. Here’s to more happy day on the bike!

Despite looking like an explosion in a paint factory it looks really great.

Raleigh went a bit mad with their paint schemes in the late 80's/early 90's. It's not as bad as on my 1991 MTB frame; I've got bright PINK rear stays, white in the middle, and green front end & forks! Like the OP's frame, mine was nice & cheap and it also has that all-important Reynolds sticker on the seat tube. I can live with my colour scheme for a while given it's a quality frame.
