The seller is a bike shop with a shedload of similar nondescript bikes, similarly overpriced, and all tagged with "L'Eroica". No bargains to be had!

today's spot:

Lugless Claud

This late 70's RJ Quinn is very nice. 99p start in the Hope Valley.

Late 70's Holdsworth Mistral. Decent (large) size in tidy condition. £69 start in Chesham.

the sun hasn't been kind to this little (once) hot pink George Longstaff tourer but it's still a quality frame, £26 start. Same seller has this Dave Russell tourer/audax, £56 start. In Cheshire

Mystery with a braze-on race tab and some nice Shimano 600 tricolor bits

Like the chrome on the RJ Quinn, might be a bit pitted in places though

bit of a state, but those lugs in picture 3 look interesting/remind me of something.

Capella lugs by Carlton looks like an early Carlton Ten but could be anything nice Carlton

Oh I see. I'm not very well up on the different Raleigh models and I've never owned one. I just thought it looked pretty and in good condition.

Cheers Midlife - I am sure that you are right.
I have a Capella lugged Corsa but the "pointy bits" (tangs?) are not as elongated, although now you mention it they do look very similar in other respects.

That is very nice and AE Oliver is a new one on me. The only reference I could find online was a vintage motorbike forum referring to, "A E Oliver, onetime chief frame maker at the Brough Superior [motorbike] works in Nottingham." Must be the same guy - maybe he briefly branched out into bike frames?
