When I left the bike shop back in 1980ish we wew still selling the Raleigh with rod brakes, chain case, slack angles and a little lock in the fork crown. Not sure if they had the older TPI bottom bracket
It would be interesting to know whether those Raleighs ever got much use - I doubt it!
Apart from the threading, the Raleigh BB was wider than standard so you have to use a Raleigh spindle, which is where the real problem starts.

I sem to recall they had an N frame number so made here and not brought in from a shadow factory somewhere.
Could even get mudguards drilled out to thread string through to stop skirts going into wheels lol.
