Bikes: 1964(?) Frejus Tour de France, 1967(?) Dawes Double Blue, 1979 Trek 710, 1982 Claud Butler Dalesman, 1983 Schwinn Paramount Elite, 1984 Miyata 1000, 2014 Brompton, maybe a couple more

AHA! The rear brake caliper has a 63 under the 610 on one of the arms. Rear brake calipers are well known to be the most reliable dating method for 1963 Raleigh/Carlton hybrids.

Edit - the front caliper is not a Weinmann, it has a logo I don't recognize that appears to be a JS within a circle.

Stem is stuck pretty hard. Too bad - the Hiduminium stem with the cable stop hole might be the most valuable piece on the bike. Well, aside from the seatclamp nut with the red "C" face on it.
