I suspected as much. Was just thinking they may have some master serial database, but I'm sure people here have the same database/knowledge. I'm sure you're correct that no one at Raleigh matches the knowledge of C&V, there's no question there!
Do you think there's any hope of identifying this beast, or should I accept it as a mystery? Short of consulting a couple of the guys who originally got me into and schooled me on vintage cycles, I don't know where I'd go. I live in Madison, WI so I could stop by Yellow Jersey and talk to Andy Muzi, but I'm not sure how much he knows about Raleigh. He's at least been in the business for quite some time.
Again, great thanks for the help!
