Cool bike!

I sold mine a while ago, but also liked the ride.. Are you sure yours is from 1995? I thought mine was and judging by the difference in decals, I'd say yours is from 1994.

Happy to be adding some Dutch titanium :wink: to the stable.. Frame is in good condition: plenty of patina, but I like that. It is dent free. The plan is to strip and clean, weigh the frame and then build it again with a variety of parts I have lying around (and that hopefully do it...

Anyway: enjoy, happy riding!

Hello Double -EF,
thanks for your answer and praise.

I thought my bike was just like you from 1994, but the serial number under the bottom bracket shows ,
that the bike was produced for the 1995 = E (see photo )

B = year 1992
C = year 1993
D = year 1994
E = year 1995
F = year 1996

The Relaigh Titanium and Gazelle are the same Frames with a little difference on the rear bowden cable holder,
which is more delicate on the Gazelle frame and not quite as bulky as on the Raleigh
In 1995, Raleigh changed the dropouts of the welded titanium frames. Most of the old frames that were not sold came to Germany and were sold as now black powder coated frames and as Raleigh USA Design.
It was similar with the Gazelle Titanium frame.
My frame is identical to the first series of the Raleigh Titanium from 1993: frame triangle plasma-welded (therefore thick welds almost like aluminum) and rear end made manually with the "simple" dropouts (the later ones were milled out) and riveted Bowden cable holders on the top tube.

All the best on your bike and fall-free days ;-)
