Hi, I'm looking for some input on dating my Raleigh Sport. The hub is AW 1965 from the stamp. This seems to jive with the decals from what I saw on the Headbadge site. Most of the components are stamped Raleigh, but looks like the frame was repainted (kind of badly; you can still see the copper green underneath)

What has me stumped is the serial. I found it on the back of the seat tube, running along the length of the tube, but it's 7-digit starting with 23, which sounds more like an early-70s number. Does this mean the previous owner probably put an older hub on a newer frame, but used decals from the old frame? Ultimately, I don't think it makes a big difference, but I'd like some closure if it's available



(forgive me for the rear fender; I broke the clip holding it on down at the bottom bracket, but now it's safely zip-tied in place )
