Bump....nobody any further input?

Re: yes that was my next port of call to see if it revealed any other information.

Re: The same as in my original post 5cg and a 7 on the other side of the BB.

Okay cool, thanks Shaun, a new one on me. Here is a link to the recent purchase on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171835810457? ... EBIDX%3AIT As I say I have checked the bike fully and these are the only redeeming marks.

Ellis Briggs in Shipley Yorkshire.

LR indicates Rossin to me however this is the first I have ever seen in full chrome.

Re: Falcon Panther resto begins: watch this space Best of luck with the work....especially with that paint :) A tip for the chrome is foil with Lemon and white vinegar. A cloth wheel bit to a drill and some metal polish all on a shoestring budget will get the best from the metal work and kill...

Bump, No ideas anyone?

Ha ha, Definitely not, only sound advice if you want indexed gears. I myself am quite happy with friction gears.

Midlife, you are correct so apologies Newbie, I am tired and appeared to skip the third triple 0. A 1980 would possibly correspond to a Raleigh Team Professional but without a photo of the whole frame it is hard to tell. http://cycleexifcom.c.presscdn.com/wp-c ... eigh-1.jpg Does this link...

£250 if you want to sell it sooner. £350-£650 if you can wait for a 30 day listing or probably over. It is more about the hype you can build on your post.

Front derailleur for indexed shifting of only a double is doable with a friction type front, a triple is more difficult. Rear derailleur as you posted for an indexed is possible but such a pain in the rectum you would be best buying an indexed rear arranged for near on the number of sprockets...

I think it was closed early 80's off the top of my head so yes I agree it doesn't tally as 84 so should be 74. The design is as per the 1983 team replica from what I can see so it is maybe a copy but I cannot corroborate this beyond the stamp details either way.

HI, I also have my eye on the same and was hoping to seek it under the radar! I assume you are intending on friction shifting and yes it should work fine but will need the screw adjustment altering and tuning to selected the range. The chain shouldn't be a problem assuming you have sized it...

Worksop, 19th fortnight 1974 (or 1984?) the 556th to be made in that shift? (this is not confirmed) Not sure on the 4 but would normally have a letter designation for morning or afternoon of that shift. The colour scheme with Black head tube arose several times but I cannot tally it to the...
