The current £55 bid is about £5 too much. The forks aren't original to the frame: they're earlier and better quality. The frame is shit.
The decal celebrating the anniversary of Reynolds 531 (not Raleigh) is usually accompanied by an actual tubing decal detailing what flavour of 531 was used.
That there isn't one (together with the budget construction and budget paintjob) suggests not all of the frame is 531 and what there is, is plain gauge.
Seller clueless too (built in '78, but the Reynolds decal), so I wouldn't place too much store in anything they've written.
