In regard to the thread a couple of week ago about the possible 753 Team Pro. As Mike Mullett and Hilary pointed out, the 26.8 seatpost and metric tube diemnsions were pretty much the "smoking gun" as both said Raleigh would never have used metric gauge 531. Got the frame completely torn today. Thought I might need to find a scale, but that proved unnecessary. This is the lightest steel frame set I've ever held, by a wide margin. I've never owned a 753 frameset before.
It's pretty filthy with a fair amount of surface rust and some ugly 90's eqiuipment decals addded. So it's going to require a repaint. But no dents or evidence of crashes.
