I've seen occasional (one-off) examples of Raleigh SBDU frames built as other brands/shops (as opposed to frames which were repainted by the owner afterwards as a different manufacturer).
All these frames seem to have been built as 'favours' with the shop in question knowing the SBDU management.
Does anyone know if Raleigh/Carlton (Worksop) built batches of frames for other brands?
The reason I ask is the eBay sale below:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Jan-J ... 1696604446?
It suggests that the Jan Janssen frameset isn't a re-stickered Raleigh but was built by Raleigh as a Jan Janssen, it certainly looks like a Raleigh but doesn't have any serial number.
