Its a raleigh ace. Not a record or a road ace, just the bogo one. I have the same thing in my shed right now, though mine looks a bit bigger in the top tube (54st 57tt).
Mine rides nice but is in horrific visual conditon and I made it worse to make it less stealable. Mine had black & white chequered decals on it (factory) so I was guessing it was probably early - mid 70's 1974 was the year mentioned to me. I'm basing this on th similar front lugs and general proportions :)
Thanks mate, that's great.
I'm surprised how nice the ride feels (ooh errr)
