These are such underappreciated frames.
The 708 tubeset has full length longitudinal ribs inside the tubes - similar to Columbus TSX only the ribs are not spiral.Top tube is 1" 1/8th.
They were very well designed and very carefully put together at Raleigh Special Products Division .
Because of the profile of the tubing only the very best frame builders were allowed to braze them together.
They ride so well both unloaded and full of touring kit.
I love mine,by far and away the best touring bike I've owned.
Anyone thinking of buying one ,really should.
Good luck with the sale -

Hi
I have had a lot of people ask what is the tyre clearance on this I’m sure I’ve used 35mm with mudguards,I have tried to take some photos with 32mm gravelkings without mudguards hope it helps

My experience of bikes of that vintage is that you should be able to fit 32's and mudguards without any problems. 38's , depending on your rim, might be a challenge
