2017 Raleigh Grand Vitesse in the bike shop.
I looked at it, price is slashed from about $2200 a year ago less $900 or so now, to bring it to $1300 (£937.88)(selling less than online websites I see)
Here it is: www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/recommended/the-raleigh-grand-vitesse-is-a-modern-classic
Same red color, basically the same, weighing 20.19 pounds so not that big of a change from some "vintage" bikes.

I'm sure I won't get it but it set me to daydreaming a bit and it was there to really get an idea about, it seemed very nice to me.
The bicycling article above, almost makes it sound like it is about riding off-road, so that's a bit confusing. It looks like totally a road bike but quoting from the article, the author says:
I am not on a road bike. I am on a badass, steel, off-roading, post-apocalyptic, all-terrain, Mad Max, zombie-hunting survival vehicle
Any input, discussion is welcomed!
