They're just great frames - were built for professional racers (Someone won the Tour de France on Raleigh/TI frame) and handle really well on the track and street combined. They were quite expensive and hard to get at the time so there aren't that many out there.
All Reynolds tubing (531 and up), nice lugs and handmade by Carlton Cycles (though depending on the year they may have already been absorbed into the megacorp that was Raleigh) in Nottingham.
And for once Raleigh didn't do anything odd to them. They're standard english threading, 1" fork, 27.2m seatpost and the graphics are quite nice.
