Great deal on a famous tourer, it will keep its' gears.
Was sitting next to a Centurion Super LeMans, previous owner took the stem, crank, bars and swapped them from each bike before he or someone donated them. He installed Suntour barend shifters on the raleigh as well.
The Raleigh was a nicer bike in every way, so I chose it over the LeMans. Money prevented me from buying both, I have too many bikes as well.
Light rust, paint is good, no frame damage.. Plan for this is a city bike.
