Bikes: Purchased a Soma "Speedster" in May '08 to replace my cludged-together Peugeot "UO-8" with alloy upgrades which will be up for sale on craigslist in the near future.

Based on what information I could find at RetroRaleighs, I'm guessing this is a 1983 model. Some specs that might be of use...

- Raleigh USA Double-butted 555 main tubes
- Serial number: 3A02574 with an "N" stamped below that.
- Riveted head tube logo
- Logo text runs vertically along front of fork blades
- Shift cables are routed through brazed-on guides under bottom bracket

A photo gallery is available at http://www.doug-morgan.com/Raleigh/. Any assistance regarding model year and any other tidbits of information would be most appreciated. Thanks.
