1980 Canadian-built Raleigh 5 Speed plz Help!
Hello
Finally delurking because questions about my bicycle are driving me mad:
Additional images here: https://s190.photobucket.com/albums/z...h%205%20speed/
The serial # is RD00xxxx which indicates it was built in Canada (Quebec?) in March of 1980. I'm guessing that being outside of England also lead the factory to source parts from where ever.
The wheels are Shimano, the stem is Sturmey Archer, the pannier is Dorcy, and the saddle is by Viscount (is that a brand or a model?)
I'm just wondering how much of this bike is original. My 60's Raleigh built for Canadian Tire Supercycle (photos soon) has more Raleigh stamped parts than this and it doesn't even carry the name.
Any information would be appreciated.
