Hi George,
Yes, this one is pre 1976. The "C-C" cutout at bottom of B/B and fastback rear stay.
Even later 77-78 Raleigh Pro with triple slots cutouts aat bottom of B/B did not have braze on at all, as top tube brake cable, D/T friction shfter, B/B cable guides etc.
Beside the DENT, this frame not worth hardly anything for classic collectors!
Where have TTT stem, GB map handle bar, Campy brake calipers, beautiful Large/High record hub, and Brooks Por saddle gone?
Regards to all,
