David Vann's suggestion that this is a Gran Sport is intriguing and clever

indeed, but again wouldn't (and didn't) a machine with Simplex gears, Normandy hub and all else Frenchy likely to have Simplex not Campagnolo drop-outs??? Unlike a lot of bespoke builders in the UK that used Ca mpag drop-outs as a matter of course, I am not convinced Raleigh did. But aga in "parts bin" spec'ing was what they did best so perhaps....

My workmate is eyeing a nice clean Gran Sport on Craigs List so I need to egg him on just to have a look at the drop outs....
