And at least include the key details of your query in the subject line of your post. You don't have time to search, but the other 2,999 of us on the Chainlink (not to mention non registered readers) all have time to actually open your post and read it?

I have a blue Raleigh Grand Prix(Republic of Ireland) frame that Im pretty damn sure is a 56". I'd have to re measure but yeah. Its the frame set with pedals, handlebars and double crank set (which is missing one of three bolts)

Heres a photo of it before i stripped it of some stuff (but i think i can find everything i took off if i tried):

Does your Rapide have a Reynold's 531 decal? I thought it was only the earlier Nottingham Rapides, which were high-end bikes with Campagnolo components, that were made with 531 main frame tubing. The made-in Taiwan Rapides were entry-level bikes, and my Taiwan Rapide frame had a "Made with Raleigh Carbon Steel" label at the bottom of the seat tube. It is surprisingly light, though.
Here's an early Nottingham Rapide:

A later Nottingham Rapide:

And here's their poor cousin the Taiwanese Rapide:

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think they recycled the name as Schwinn did with the unfortunate Paramount, which somehow turned into a cheap mountain bike.
I'd be interested to know if your bike does have a 531 label.
