Raleigh Gran Sport?

Hi All,

The seller claims this is a 54cm Raleigh Gran Sport with a "Reynolds 531 frame". Do you think:
  1. It's really a 531 frame given the stem shifters (which were maybe a later "enhancement" lol)?
  2. If so, would the tubes be butted (and only the main triangle and or fork, etc.)?
Asking price is $190 in NYC. Only the one picture, below, is included in the listing. However, the seller did provide videos (see below Youtube links) - although I still can't make out the labels. Argh! Not to mention the big white splotch of gosh knows what on the top tube.



I'd be interested to know your thoughts as to whether this is a nice price or no dice.
Thanks!
