My 1977 Raleigh Super Course, has never had a Reynolds decal. I know this because I bought it brand new 30 years ago/am the original owner.
However, according to the catalog (see Retro Raleighs), it is constructed of Reynolds 531 main tubes and it should have the decal for Reynolds 531 Plain Gauge Tubes.

For those of you who have original paint/decals.....
Was your Reynolds decal applied on top of the entire paint job or was it applied under the final sealer coat?
For my SuperCourse, I am wondering if....
A) Factory was supposed to add the decal and for whatever reason did not.
B) Dealer was supposed to add the decal and for whatever reason did not.
C) Dealer removed the decal before placing the bike for sale. (There are no scratches)
D) Other?
Anyone have any thoughts?
Best Wishes,
