Raleigh LTD 3 speed
Hey there,
New on this board. Looks like it is well attended. I am enjoying the vintage photos already.
I picked up a Raleigh LTD 3 last week and have been cleaning it up with my son. I cannot find a serial number on it. Can anyone tell me where to look?
I did find markings on the rims- Sturmey Archer, just like the hub.

Found it on the post as you said. It starts with NC4 and the hub says 74 2, Both of which indicates it is a 74 year model- I suppose.
It is a nice riding bike, still with original Raleigh tires that are not cracked. Still it is not as smooth as my Dutch Atlas 3 speed.
