I have an old Triumph bike, in like almost perfect condition. I have been searching everywhere online but can't find what it's called or what yr it is. It looks exactly like a 1954 Raleigh women's Colt, but mine is a mens style.
Here is the url the the womens bike mine looks just like:

Is there anywhere on the bike where there would be a yr or serial #?

Thanks and please help!

Hi Kellie, I'd like to see a pic of your Triumph, I have a ladies 1955 Triumph Palm Beach Tourist, far from perfect condition though. I'll attach a scan of a catalog page. The coolest features of the bike are the "Triumph " lettering on the chainring and the Palm Beach Skyline transfers. The Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub should have a 2 digit date code to help you date the bike.
