Hi Yannis, I don't know a lot about the 753 Team bikes, but I do have some pics of a frame I'm hoping/trying to buy. Just go to my Yahoo photo page: http://photos.yahoo.com/kurtsj00 and look at the album titled "Raleigh Team"

As far as parts go, I think that anything could be used (my guess is that a lot of these were just sold as framesets), but Campy Super Record would be most suitable.

of course, Mark Bulgier has a lot of bike catalogs on his website, which includes a few Raleigh ones. http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/catalogs/

have fun!
