Hi
I have a raleigh team panasonic frame and the series number is sb7602, does anyone know what the sb stands for? or when it was built? its also engraved under the number with 64.5 which is the frame size.
thanks in advance for any help
 
SB stands for Special Bikes as in Special Bikes Development Unit at Ilkeston, very classy. A Google search of SBDU Raleigh should show up what you need. 7602 is the sequential frame number and will give the year of manufacture.

Some pics should have the Raleigh bods drooling :)

PS. The frame number is from 1985-1986 if memory serves, is there an H on the bottom bracket or any other initials?

Thanks a lot
Here's some pics, unfortunately it's had the cable guides and mech hanger cut off at some point.

Whoever's gone and chopped the braze ons off on a bike like this wants shooting.
