I started selling Raleigh bikes in around 1975. Unfortunately, my memory 
is a little dim, but I remember there were three models of bikes in that 
era that came with tubular tires ... the Competition, International, and 
the Pro. The International was a copper/gold colored bike but I don't 
remember any white panels on either the seat tube, or the head tube. The 
bike might predate the mid- 1970's. We quit selling Raleigh in the early 
1980's (my store continued until 1998)because, frankly, the quality was 
mediocre compared to the Japanese bikes which were penetrating the 
American market, so it's also possible that your Raleigh is a more 
recent model that was sold after we terminated our relation****p with 
Raleigh. Sorry I can't be more help.

Which Campagnolo equipment is on the bike? That would help isolate the
era.
