Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me identify the frame on a bike I picked up from ebay around a year ago?
The guy I bought it from was given the frame/fork by a friend and then built up using spare parts from a bike shop he worked at. It has been resprayed (and I maybe restickered as they say 531 rather than 531c) at Bob Jackson cycles in Leeds at some point in its life
I have worked out so far it is a Raleigh from 1984, and is either a Team Replica or Competition (ruled out the Road Ace due to the shifter mounts). However I am unsure which one it is. The thing throwing me off is the mudguard eyes on the dropouts, when the production models do not have mounts or clearance for guards. The Team replica says that it can be custom ordered, so I am thinking it may have been custom ordered with the eyes but don't know enough to know if this is likely or not.
If anyone can let me know which one it is, or point me in the direction of further info it would be much appreciated. Here are some pictures and the catalogs I have used for reference so far- if there is anything else from the frame that can help identify it, please let me know. Thanks.

thanks very much!
from looking at the catalogs, i believe the F+F to be from a 1983 team replica 12, and guessing the mudguard eyes will have been a custom order- which has made me change my mind about filing them off!
I don't plan to sell it, but does anybody know how much its worth? i picked the whole bike up for a little over £100.

Hi, new to the forum and hoping someone can help me identify some parts on a bike I picked up.
Frame has a reynolds 531 sticker on it, and stamped on the bottom bracket is WG3000784 if that means anything? also, i do not know if the forks are original?
the parts have been added afterwards (the guy i bought it from was given the frame and fork by someone, and they have been resprayed- he told me it is a raleigh athena, but google only comes up with a ladies bike) and the majority are shimano 105, however can someone tell me how old they are? i have looked for markings and the only ones are inside the crank arm.
thanks!
