Raleigh Touring 14. The bike had an ultra 7 freewheel. This bike was released in 1979. Here's a picture. Oops, it got cut off, sorry.

Here's the 1978 catalogue, no 14-speed bicycle is listed on the specs sheet. Notice that nearly all freewheels are suntour perfect, these were always 5-speed freewheels.
