...I don't know about in 1979, but Raleigh recycled the name "Record Ace" a number of times. One time, at least, it was a pretty good bike. Another time, IIRC, it was near the bottom of their offerings. The color scheme, as such, tells very little. Part of the marketing strategy in the '70's was to make the boom bikes look like the best offerings by the company. Peugeot did the same thing.
For any sort of appraisal here, you're gonna need to add some decent pictures of yours. Start an album. Hope someone with more history transfers you photos to this thread. They need to be drive side photos. Generally, bicycle buyers have read so much verbiage about disc brakes, e-bikes, and DF aero frames, that they're not willing to invest much in these bicycles. It's kinda crazy, but right now that's how it is.
