By the way, thanks for the info on the bike. Something still bothers me though - if the serial number is the one that starts with 0 (on the drop out), what is the number on the BB for?
The Gazelle decal was what I was after, though if you could get me a sharp photo of the dropout serial number, that would be excellent. Thank you.
I have no idea where those 3xxxxxx serials popped up from - I've seen frames with those SN's exclusively, and I've seen them doubled up as well. So far, the dropout serials appear much more common; the 3xxxxxx serials might have been one of Raleigh's crazy experiments.

P.S.: I could
really use a photo of the earlier, 1972 cursive downtube decal, if anyone has an example.
