Identification of Old Triumph

Hi Guys and Gals,

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about old Triumph frame numbers?

I recently bought a old 1940 - 1950 ish Triumph, I am ageing it based upon photos of similar already age proven bikes.

I got it from a well known auction site for £14.50, and I am currently mid way through giving it a new lease of life.

I took some pictures of the bike before i blew it apart. I found a frame number at the top of the seat tube.

The number is : 59275NAG

I will try to upload some photos too

Any ideas or guesses welcomed

If it is Raleigh built, you should try this site:
The Headbadge: A Vintage Bicycle Resource

I suggest to examine the hubs and back side of the crank arms for date codes (assuming that those are original).

Bikes: No-name LH drive track. Also ride an Exxon Graftek, a Masi, a Trek R200 or a RR Boneshaker for fun!

Excellent advice on the date codes, as the serial number given does not seem to match the format information on the very useful link you provided. Perhaps a pre-Raleigh Triumph?

I have had a look over the whole frame and then hubs, the only numbers on the frame were :

59275N
AG


So even after looking at the Raleigh frame numbering system, (which I gave already seen b4 you mentioned it) .. I still can't get mine to fit !!
