Sure...Cuba+Vietnam.
From nowadays seen, not the best or optimal solution, but it worked out. Eastern Europe (Danube) was done with another frame like this, but fixed.
(preferring low-rider luggage on the rear now)

Most of these era and type Raleighs were 531. There are some very few 531c ones, but I think these were later in the model run and the Reynolds sticker should look different then. Also with this size, I doubt they would have gone for 531c.
I own three of the 1977/8 precursors of these. Nice frames. Could be definitely also used for light touring (esp. your later one, has got a more relaxed geo - but then, the size...but give it a try). I rode mine through Cuba and Vietnam plus eastern Europe...
-
From the remaining decals: definitely end 70s (~from 78/79 on) to early eighties...decals were different before so far I know...
(oh, and great build btw)

The B132, B135 or the B136?
The B135 at least existed once in a SSB / 31.8 version.
Also had one of them (guess the B132), but made the mistake to get the narrow 42cm version, which is of course even narrower on the tops.
Atm I go for longer stem and compact bars with modern shifters, but would be interesting to try a shorter stem with a longer reach handlebar.
(that Meral is btw super lovely!)
-
Nice.
Which handlebar is that?
-
That makes sense...incredible, that it still later left the factory, maximum of QC ;)
edit: this thing at alibaba
