Hi all, anyone know anything about serial numbers? I've got one at the top of the seat tube on the left hand side. It reads 358812 with an R immediately below. I would say my Rudge came out of the Raleigh factory as they acquired Rudge soon after WWII and this looks a lot younger than that but I can't find anything corresponding to those numbers on-line. It was intended to have a 3 speed Sturmey Archer and has a pulley mounting on the underside of the cross tube just in front of the seat tube. I'd be interested to know a bit more about the origins of the frame, so if anyone can help I will be very pleased.
Cheers.
