Thank you!
This is a GREAT initiative - thank you so much! Might you consider adding Araya? (Early 1970s)

Thank you! Do you have a catalog link for their bicycle offerings? This is not a component manufacturer thread, just a bicycle manufacturer/seller thread. A component catalog thread can be for another time and another member, for now.

Well, technically, at least one of the Cinelli catalogs you posted is just components.

Sorry to say, no 1939 Frejus catalog to add to the list. Final price was a skosh over 140 euro. Pretty much 3 times more than I wanted to pay.

Not a problem. I don't think anyone should go into debt to source a catalog, as interesting and beneficial it may be. 140 Euro is enough to buy a bike, let alone some pieces of paper!

@eirini13 I am unable to answer the question as 1) I have no Raleigh serial number knowledge and 2) that is not the point of this thread. If you can work your post count up to 10, then you can post pictures of your mystery bike or start a thread (I forget the minimum post count number to be able to do that). There are many knowledgeable people here, including many Raleigh enthusiasts. We'd be happy to help you out.

Mizutani, PNW marque sold by Life Cycles in the 70's, going to dig out the brochure, seems like C.Itoh is on it.

@reoc01 you are at 10 posts now, which means you can post pictures of your bike in a new thread (but not this one) that you start. That can help you find more information on it as there are likely many knowledgeable people that know Cavalera bikes.

Hi unfortunately I don't have a link for you.
But there is a manufacturer/maker of a bike that I've got here in the UK called Winchester and its known in the USA.
But alas I have no other info other than that 😕

Are you interested in members directly uploading catalog scans of items/marques not included above?
