I've been following these bikes on ebay since December of 2002. This appears to be a new high watermark for a Raleigh International bike. Someone hit the "Buy it now" button. Even before the "Buy It Now!" the $625 price was also a high or within +/- $20 of the high set last summer when some new-condition 1971 bikes were offered on ebay.
