Charles,
You're Super Record equipped Raleigh is considered on-topic because:
1) Lugged steel frames can be considered KOF. (Keeper of the Flame) Although opinions vary over what constitutes KOF status.
2) Bike models and components that began their manufacturing run prior to the cut-off date are considered on-topic. Raleigh Team began production in 1974 and are definitely lugged steel. Also, Super Record components began life in 1974 so Super Record components produced up to their last yeer in 1987 are considered on-topic.
