Bikes: Was Fuji and got my grails (Pro, Pro SR, Design Series, & Ti). Now I hunt 50's/60's road bikes.

They are good old bikes with little value. That is not to take away from the quality, but they are not "popular" now. You did well if you bought it for yourself...but if you bought it to flip, you won't make too much. I suppose that I could be wrong if you are in certain regions.

From what I have read is that the hub should give an estimate of when the bike was made. The 63 would be 1963. I think they were their own brand for a while, then sold to AMF, and then bought by Raleigh. Surely someone will correct me if I am wrong.

If you do a search, you should find a ton of info on this site.
