Hi, please could someone help identify, date my raleigh?
serial number; NE3039730.
Its a 2x6 or 7 geared, chrome frame covered in a blue/silver wrap with dull, brass head badge with 3 rivets. Weinman brakes and huret derailleurs.
Nottingham April 1973 or 1983 any pics? Trying to think of a full chrome Raleigh, Carlton did full chrome but would be badged Carlton. The only one that springs to mind is. Chrome Pro Super, if it's one of them they are somewhat rare
Ill get some pics up in a min....
when you say badged carlton, is that on the head badge instead of notingham?
The bike didnt have any other decals on as the film over the chrome is peeling off. I decided to take all the film off as parts of the chrome has rustes underneath.
Thanks for takin the time midlife. Anything you can think of would be appreciated.
I have another raleigh (roadster?) And it doesnt have those braze ons on the top tube. It was always a question of 78 or 88 but i guess 78 now?
Ill post up some pics tomorrow of the other raleigh.
That one picked a Few brains. It was a single speed. Perhaps a roadster.
It had been resprayed and turned into a 2 x 6 or 7 speed.
The components are very nice. Weinman brakes etc.
I Dont know why someone would bother going to all the trouble on a 'gas pipe bike'?
it Seemed to have a postcode printed onto the underside of the bb?
Found it in a junk shop for 50 quid. The shop keeper said an old lady dropped it off.
