They also painted over the dropouts. My frame has Raleigh in the same font ( in white) on a red frame with blue rear triangle, blue forks, with white stars on the forks and triangle. My frame has a serial #SB7272 and is 57 cm. It was built for Pete Pensyres as a backup bike for his race across America. These frames were built at the Raleigh specialized bicycle development shop. Only the BEST framebuilders built these frames. Only the best framebuilders got to even touch 753. Note the number hang tab on the frame on ebay. What is better. A production Raleigh Team Pro or a very special frame from the specialized development shop. I am sure the pros rode frames from the development shop.
I'll not argue, but simply note that my preference would be one of the 753 team frames with the older red/yellow/black livery. 54 cm if you please.
