I posted about this a while ago within another post, but got no help so trying again.
I bought this Raleigh frame: http://www.lfgss.com/thread43346.html (more pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49085745@N05/sets/72157623936086731)
I'm trying to shed some light on it's original colours so I can get it restored but I'm not getting anywhere. I've posted in the Yahoo Ti forum, I've contacted Vernon Barker and Raleigh themselves, I've checked radpropoganda but none of them have left me with any answers.
The frame number (SB5778) leads me to believe it was around 1983, but I've seen frame numbers that are mixed up so that's not for certain. Does anyone have any reference or has anyone seen any track frames from 83ish? I know Team Panasonic colours were 84, and I've seen an 81 frame in the red/yellow w) black headtube but the rear dropouts and forks don't match mine.
Anyone have any idea?
