JT try and learn the difference between a TRACK BIKE and a road bike
And the rest of you also if u don't know what your talking about which none of you clearly do , find another Raleigh 70s TRACK BIKE for sale or google it and educate yourself on how rare they are and what the frame alone is worth , and yes in the 70s people did use one shorter crank arm on a TRACK BIKES

So is this a TRACK BIKE then? I honestly have never heard of people using one crank shorter than the other, and my googling has failed me. Perhaps I do know nothing about bikes. It's not just that you don't have a matching pair of crank arms?

And also another thing to learn , this is an 80s paint job that's been done on a 70s frame Its not the original graphics / paint ,as the frame was made in 70s and the team Panasonic colours were only used in 84

So is this a TRACK BIKE or a ROAD BIKE? What is the DIFFERENCE?

are those forks proper TRACK FORKS ?

does that SADDLE have a hole in it

is that SEATPOST worth more than a tenner

It looks like it does but that's because in the 70s everyone rode with half a SADDLE.

the dropouts are fugly.

Aye, definitely something funny about those.
