What Raleigh bike is this?

[JonnyBlade]

I bought this before Christmas and I'm in the process of rebuilding. I'd love to know what it is though. Yarp, I know it's part of a bike and a Raleigh, possibly an 80's model but the respray has taken away any possible identification markings

If you have any idea of what type of hanger for the rear derailleur I need then I will take any advice given

Some bikes of that age used a rear mech that had a hanger attached, it had a slot in it so that it sat alongside the dropout, and the rear axle went through it.

 

[e-rider]

yes, on those mega cheap bikes the hanger was attached to the rear mech

I don't want to upset you but that's a £99 special; the cheapest road bikes Raleigh ever produced - will be fine for pottering about on but I wouldn't spend too much fixing it up!

So £15 was a bit of a bargain then

The Equipe, the Pulsar and the Pursuit all had the same frame just sprayed up different colours.

Zoiders, that's a bit of a con but clever marketing Mine looks like it was resprayed yeterday!

They would make posh versions in 531 that might actualy differ in detail on the lugs, braze-ons and equipment

They would make high-tensile steel replicas as well sprayed up the same all using the same bog standard frame, hence the sneaky - same bike different colour scheme.
