Hi I'm considering buying this 753 raleigh panasonic http://www.adverts.ie/road-bikes/vintage-ti-raleigh-road-bike/4206862
I asked the seller for the number and he said it was SB2430 H495. This leads me to believe it has been resprayed as the serial number would but it around 1979 from a timeline someone came up with on a yahoo group on Ti-raleighs (can't figure out how to use yahoo groups properly). As far as I can tell hese frames were not produced until 1984. Also the raleigh logos appear to be sticker from the pictures (further indicating it's a respray). Also the lack of brake cable stops indicated that it is an earlier frame also. Was hoping someone could shed some light on this. Still considering buy as it is still an Ilkeston bike. What are the chances of it being 753?
Thanks
