These are fantastic, thank you. Never realized that these were Nottingham, or that they basically re-engineered the Sports/Superbe for 1982.

I hadn't considered it could be older than 1969, since that's the date on the hub, but I guess the wheel could have been replaced at some point.
Might be a '69 with a left-over '68 chainguard or '68 decal stuck on the chainguard. It's Raleigh. Anything is possible.
