Hi hope I have the correct forum for this. I started comiling a comparo of my old Team Raleigh Record for a RB posting, as it was a dead ringer for my model. On this PC I can only have one frame open so I skipped to another site to obtain some of my bike's details to flesh out my posting. So I...

I have not inspected the BBS yet, as all is sound. However will have a look to compare notes above ( : New Zealand used to import Canadian 'Redbirds' 100 years ago and sometimes a lot of designations for other markets get dumped here. I am very interested in the French Connection with the...

Re: 1979 TEAM RALEIGH RECORD 1979 TRR New Zealand market variant is the same or very similar to the French 1978 model cited in this iniating thread. The 'Team Raleigh - Record' above is same as my 1979 Australsian marketed model in paint, decals and Fork blade chrome masking. Brakes are not...

Thanks for posting this 1973 catalogue for Carlton. I have just been cleaning up my old Corsa. It is a Worksop loop frame but I believe it is 1970. Frame No. 'WK 7003162'. It is the green met paint like a Triumph TR6C and Tiger of that year, with the black head inserts and top bar decal...

MAFAC did make this similar type of brake,but I thought you meant the other type .

Being a Dawes... it is more than likely a presto or similar small valve pump. Keep it on the bike that is my advice..

Looks early 1980s..reminds me of a Raleigh Arena

Hi Hamster.. Pics are up no not what you are surmising ( : Looks authentic butr it has been stripped and repainted ..so some doubts exist

Hi Shaun, Yes many bikes slipped through wothout being in a brochure( : I must get these pictures done.

Hi David, Many thanks for those faulous pictures however I think these are the earlier Weimann centre pull cantilever? The brakes I am talking about are usually found on MTBs or ATBs as they were called. I am wondering if someone has actually modifed the old frame to get newer brakes...

Hi, I just unpacked an old Carlton frame and noted the rear chainstays are different than my 70s Carlton to allow the fitment of cantilever brake bosses and the 80s C. brakes.In effect narrowing the rear fork somewhat. Imagine a loop Carlton Raleigh frame of the 70s with the top of the loop...
