• That frame looks suspiciously like my 1976 Raleigh "Connoisseur" which i stripped down (binned the fenders etc) sprayed and now run as my SS. Mine originally had 26" wheels on but your look bigger than that? In any case i fitted 700c's a couple of weeks ago and had to buy a shimano rear brake with a shorter drop, although i can't remember off hand which model number it was as the key is in that i do believe. I took it into the workshop at "on your bike" at london bridge and asked the mechanic to find me a brake that had the right drop and then sell me it as i wasn't going to pay him to do it the jockey!

    So in short i have not answered your question, but beware as these old Raleigh frames are a damn mystery half of the time...
