Eric comment:
At an earlier date they specified them as being available slightly larger. I have a "Team Raleigh Professional Frameset" brochure, USA version, undated but probably from the mid seventies. I say mid seventies because of the follow statement within the catalog: "One of the most exciting new products developed by the unit (EE's note: they are referring to the Special Bicycle Development Unit" as mentioned earlier in the brochure) and tested by the team is the new lightweight cycle tubing - Reynolds 753."
They go on to specify the 753 frameset available in sizes c-t from 50 - 61cm in 1/2 cm increments. They also specify that you could also order one in 531 and they were available c-t in 50 - 64 cm, also in 1/2 cm increments.
Chrome plating is specifically pointed out as not being available on either variant.
I have a bunch of Team Pro related brochures/literature and will make an effort to send them along to be scanned into Mark Bulgier's website. Greg, could you do the same with your brochure as I would love to see the one you refer to?
