The lugwork on it looks like a classic bit of Raleigh design to me. If you look at my BSA ( http://www.sunbeamland.co.uk/photos/05-05-08_1442.jpg & http://www.sunbeamland.co.uk/photos/05-05-08_1344.jpg), from the standard square taper bottom bracket spindle and lugwork and seatstays and rear forks it looks very Raleigh. The Raleighs used Reynolds Tubing/ TI though, not Columbus. Regards, Marcus/ Hello!
