found it running down the back of the seat tube---it's a 79--had no idea that they made a rod-brake model that late

I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
The sun never set on the British empire.
I had an Indian made bike that was exactly the same as the rod brake Raliegh Roadster.
I got it brand new in the box in 1997 for $100.00. That was with all of the distribution and retail mark up. The bike was well made and rode beautifully. I ended up giving to a guy for replacing all of my window screens.
I have seen the Chinese ones, and they are exactly the same. I guess every place the British empire landed, they built a bicycle factory.
Very civilized!

Nice Tourist!
I just made a trade for a 1980 DL-1. Though it looks very similar to yours, it came with the full chaincase. These bikes were last listed in the Raleigh Catalog in 1985. Think about it- a 72 year production run!
You did very well if you paid typical Goodwill prices. These bikes are getting popular and going up in $.
Where are you located? These bikes seem much more common in the northeastern US than on the West Coast.
Tires and brake pads are still available, if you look around.
Schwalbe makes a lovely all-purpose "Delta Cruiser" tire in both cream and black for this size.

located in Austin Tx. Interesting note: I flipped this bike on CL and though Austin is one of the epicenters of the hipster driven current bike craze, it was actually a guy from Dallas who drove down in a hurry to get it---he has family in mexico and wants me to keep my eye out for any english 28s they love em there. Also english 26ers(no chinese knockoffs). My god, I probably had 30 english threespeeds in the last 5 years- and now the hipsters are on to them--$40 bikes are now $150 or more
