It says Raleigh of America in the ad which is enough for me to lose interest.

I try to stay with Raleighs made in England. Maybe one from Holland or Ireland would be okay. One of those "Racing USA" frames would be ok too. Did you notice the frame sizing on the marathon? 50 cm frame with 56 top tube? Found this on a google search:
