1974 Raleigh Team Professional

Good Evening retrobikers,

I've seen this and am slightly intrigued by it.

Can a Raleigh expert shed a bit of light on it. I'm assuming it's pre SBDU.

Re: Raleigh Team Professional

Those chrome forks with the chrome on the top, then red then more chrome with the ti sticker are the front end of the best looking 70's pro ever

Want it !!!

Re:

Yeah, nice isn't it.

1 year before my SBDU and same size. I think they'd make a nice pair.

Woah! that's a tall one. :shock:


Blue Mink eh! :?

So I'm guessing the red one's got a W for a prefix ?

Woah! that's a tall one. :shock:

Becareful mate what you type! The last time I mentioned about a tall bike, I got a PM from the OP threatening to kick the shit out of me :?

Not this blue bike obviously

I think I remember that, although my memory's pretty crap at the moment.

Frame number 035 WL6001704

That must mean something to someone.

Whats the story behind The Raleigh Team Pro, were they made to order or off the shelf high end stock bikes ?
