help me date my raleigh
So I got this frame today, it's a Super Course, bronze, supposedly carlton built, it's 531, the Raleigh name is in thin cursive, BB shell is stamped with TT (?) and left dropout has 337721 on the outside of it. It looks like a late 60's, early 70's? Anyone with helpful information, links, etc, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If the headbadge is kind of round/oval, then late 60s', if the more normal raleigh "bird" cut out that way, then early 70's (71 or 72?). Go see retro-raleighs link at SheldonBrown.com

it's just a frame. No BB, just a fork. SheldonBrown's thing doesn't have anything with just numbers, there are always letters in that time period, and I take what he says with a bit of doubt anyways... The badge is "birdy". Here it is...
