Serial "rolls over" when numerals are used up - without rhyme or reason relating to month or year - in the same fashion as an odometer.

There isn't enough data to claim either option as absolute. Digits 6-9 are sequential. I think I bought it towards the end of the 80’s but cannot remember exactly what year, could have been early 90’s. This system never exeeded 6 digits, and the reason for its introduction remains a mystery. This system showed its face in 1970 (I have named it accordingly), and was phased out in mid-1973. It indicates the year of manufacture, the decade being assumed (i.e. There are several documented cases of  '73 and. with original Carlton pump. Unit # in production run, A cycle manufactured in Nottingham, in the month of March of the year 1975, would feature the serial "ND5------.". Twenty/Folders will have the serial marked on the outside of the left dropout, and some Grand Prix models have it in this location as well. This seems to have happened around 1962, and it is reasonable to assume that all … Note: While this numbering scheme is generally true, there may have been some crossover use of letters at the beginning/end of each year (e.g. By 1961/62, an additional-single letter suffix was added, presumably as an identifier of the factory the frame was produced, for every single example I've seen is represented by the letter "N," which is not unreasonable to assume stands for Nottingham. The serials from this era, specifically for general production machines (Sports, Superbe, Sprite), will be located on the seat lug. Raleighs of any model may be seen with either serial number type during this era. These serials are instantly recognizable, as the first digit is always zero, and low-number serials (i.e., "9181") will have a prefix of as many zeros required to make the serial seven digits - in other words, "0009181" - such as the example Grand Sports shown above. information at Kurt Kaminer's Headbadge site. The example to the left is "WR0------," which would indicate Worksop manufacture in November of 1980 (and most likely a 1981 model due to the late month). This seems to have happened around 1962, and it is reasonable to assume that all "RB" symbols represent bikes produced post-1961. It’s got campag ends, with the Portcatatena fitment (2 screw holes). Group, which may help to narrow down a given frame's era: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TI_RALEIGH_TEAM_PROS/. SBDU (Ilkeston) 1974. Two letters, followed by a series of six digits: All following digits:

One may assume that "RA" serial numbers began with "RA00001" (or RA1000), and continue until "RA 99999 N," at which point the system was reset to "RB 00001 N" (or RB 10000 N). "SB" followed by four numbers, sequential to production order. F4980. 1973 - Grand Prix, Super Course, Grand Sports only. Worksop/Nottingham and Carlton 5-digit serial examples are welcome. The bicycles listed here are not for sale. 3 Slots in the BB, and cables routed under the bracket. It appears that Raleigh recycled many of the older serial numbers in later years, so there are lots of bikes from the 60s and 70s that have serial numbers that would suggest much greater age. In addition to the two serial types above, a third system appears to have been established in 1955, or at the earliest, 1954; terminating in the early-mid '60s - the most recent example I have on hand is from 1962, though I suspect the official cutoff may date to 1963 or '64. G4582 ‘DR’ (1972) MK. One may assume that "RA" serial numbers began with "RA00001" (or RA1000), and continue until "RA 99999 N," at which point the system was reset to "RB 00001 N" (or RB 10000 N). Most older Sturmey-Archer hubs have two or three-letter model codes, which are usually stamped onto the hub shell. A = 1st fortnight, B = 2nd, etc.). Nevertheless, please put your mind at ease - these serial charts have been checked, re-checked, and are as accurate as I can provide at their time of publication. Men's models will have the stamping on the top of the lug, ladies' frames will have the serial stamped to the front of the lug. Raleigh Serial Numbers.

Serials stamped on rear of seatpost (both men's and ladies' models) near top on most models; sample shown at left. This is followed by another alphabet. Sample is from 2001, Digits 2,3,4 are day (001-365). The serial number is usually formatted like U161K0123456 or DAY16A123456. page for pictures and detailed descriptions. EXCEPTION: This system is NOT to be confused with the seat-tube system which replaced it in 1970; which ran until 1973. The first system consists of 7 digits, beginning with 1000000. 1972: G, followed by four numerals URL: http://sheldonbrown.com/retroraleighs/dating.html, Last Updated: November 22, 2012 8:42 EST by John Allen. For now, it should be assumed that the Choppers' serial system is separate (until proven otherwise). SB4409 (1981) 753 Dynaflite. Sovereign (Raleigh USA) 1983: Lugged Tange ?

1971: F, followed by four numerals This system INCLUDES the Grand Prix and Super Course, despite the seven-digit serials (as mentioned in the next system, below) running concurrently on these models. The exact specifics of this system remain a mystery. EXCEPTIONS: Evidence indicates that a handful of '70-'71 frames - or their lugs, depending on when the stamping was done - may not have been released from the factory until 1973, and were consequently decaled as 1973 models. Serial numbers should begin with a "W", which stands for Worksop, the facility that produced these frames. However, the first letter in the serial, "R," appears to remain for the entire run of this system. This alphabet indicates the fortnight in which the frame was built (i.e. Great shape. Regardless, it is here, and it will stay. See the Raleigh Competition G.S. Serial location: Given the number of bicycles produced at Raleigh during any given year versus the relatively small sample size of bikes available to me (200+ individual examples at last count), I cannot guarentee absolute accuracy.
