Oh, my full Campag Triomphe-equipped, 531-framed '86 Grand Prix? No way, Jose!

I'd highly suggest that you keep your eye out on ebay under the search "Raleigh Grand Prix" if you're looking for one. They have been rather plentiful recently, as two or three complete ones (with their original 105 gruppos - yech) have popped up in the last two weeks, and a pretty nice frameset as well.

And the framesets usually go quite cheap, considering it is 531:

P.S.: I bought that one as a frameset as well - the Triomphe components, handlebar & stem, wheelset and seatpost came off a 1985 Basso that had some wrinkling behind the head lugs.
