  I have an older Raleigh bicycle. How do I determine its birthday?? Thanks in advance. Jerry.

  Hi, thanks, the quickest way to get an approximate date is to check the rear Sturmey Archer hub, where the date will be stamped, year and month (eg. 59 4 for April of 1959). I say ‘approximate’, since the hub would obviously exist prior to being installed on the bike. This also assumes that the wheel was not changed out at some point. There are numbers stamped on the frame as well, and people have posted Raleigh date charts on the internet. But I usually go with the hub. Hope that helps.

  should have 26x 1&1/4 wheels rather than the 1& 3/8th, unless they changed them for the export version, anyway it's a nice thing

  Yes, I wondered about the wheel size. Lost in the sands of time. Thx!

  It's way too neat a bike to toss. The frame actually look to have decent paint. The extra hole in the lever bodies is exactly there to allow locating the levers in a comfortable place (or to give you more throw if you're using a drum instead of a caliper). I'd be interested in knowing if the brake calipers have reach for the slightly smaller 1-3/8 rims. There aren't many tire choices left for 26 x 1-1/4. Converting to 1-3/8 opens a few options up.

  So I just scored a Sport for $60. Going to have it rebuilt, but does the gear change with just a flip of the switch or do you hold it down somehow?

  I agree with your guess - late 1950s looks correct to me based on the frame decals. Nice find.

  I had the same bike in 1976 in green and white. It was my Dad's, but I used it more when I was 11. He must have sold it, everyone complimented it and wanted it for the 531 tubing. That does sound like a welding wire. I wouldn't give up until I got that wire out. I don't care if you have to make a tool. My opinion, organized labor destroyed any competition with Asian bike manufacturing.

  I just restored a Norwegian produced Moulton from 1068. I have no squeak in the front. I only just tried riding it yesterday and the thing I liked least was the short handlebar length. I need to adjust saddle position & hight also.

  I had a Super Course that I bought in 1973. Must have been a Mark 1 because it had no Japanese equipment. Upgraded to a Raleigh International after a year (I worked in a Raleigh shop in the summers while in High School). My Super Course was Bronze Green and a fine bike.

  Nice bike, miele means honey in italian and the E at the end is pronounced like you would pronounce the E in "Electricity" or just like the first E in "miele". The frame look extremely similar to what Bianchi offered at time as entry level mtb/touring

  That's a lovely old bike you have there. The white tip on the rear mudguard is something they did in the second world war. Because of the blackout when you couldn't show any light at night in case the German bomber crews saw it, the white paint was supposed to make you more visible to car-drivers when you were riding at night.

  If you can see whether the handlebar stem and seat post are original black, rather than repainted, that would be an indicator of Austerity Finish, and reinforce that dating. In Austerity Finish, the handlebars are normally black too, but this would be the early days of austerity and stocked parts would be used up first.

  Thanks for your response. I too had a Lupa at one point. It was a nice machine, a bit too big for me so it moved on. (I see now - as I’m looking more closely at the mountain bike - that it was made in Taiwan. I believe that some higher-end machines were made in Canada, though.)
