Hi,

I am new to C-R. I have read the rules for the group and have a question. I am wondering what the value of a Raleigh Pro Limited Edition (#269 of 500) might be. There is a long but barely visible serial number below the word "Nervex" which I cannot read. There is a five digit serial number on the fixed-cup side of the BB which reads: F2220.

This frameset has Campagnolo 1010 Record front and rear dropouts. This frame also has rear seat stays that I have heard called both "fastback" and or "cluster" stays. The frameset is gold in color; the headtube is silver as are the wide horizontal stripes on the seat tube. The fork chrome on the fork crown and blades needs to be re-chromed as it is peeling off and there is evidence of rust. The frame is Reynolds 531. And the fork blades have peeled decals where the word "Carlton" once was.

Does anyone have any idea what something like this is worth? Please note that I am not trying to sell it; I just thought that C-R would be a good place to have it appraised.
