70s? Raleigh Info Needed
My 12yo DD is in love with an older Raleigh. I would like to know a bit more about the bicycle, but I am unsure where to look for information. I know there is something engraved on the rear wheel (hub?).
Requested images can be provided.
Thanks so much!

Need more information. Raleigh built bicycles from around 1890 until the plant in Nottingham shut down in 2000. The 1970's were necessarily their best bikes, but they still made decent bikes at that point. Pictures would be a plus.
