Neither did I, back when I was new to this hobby - and believe me, it made it a royal pain to figure out anything regarding the Raleigh Sports. That's why I do not reference these catalogs on The Headbadge, and refuse to do so.
It wasn't until I saw the bottom of the '73 .PDF that I realized I'd been had.

It didn't even have the Sports or Twenty in it, which he seemed to have some fondness for. Notice how talk about Raleigh Sports have dwindled since his death.
Failing to note that the catalogs are incomplete ticks me off more than anything else. A simple mention of such could easily avert a good deal of the preexisting confusion.
