I can't tell from your pic if that's still visible. I don't have a lot of faith in interpretations of the serial # system for Raleighs of this era, but I can report on mine if that would be helpful.

Sorry, but I guess I'm more interested in the ride quality than technical minutiae.

I'm an aerospace quality manager at work - I get enough tech every day by necessity. On my own time, I go all artsy-fartsy.

Beautiful bike - I see that yours is virtually original, cottered cranks and all. How does it ride?
