I believe this is correct, at least for some years: the rider's initials plus
the last two numbers of the year and another number that is probably the
frame number for that rider, not necessarily in that order (though the rider's
intials seem to consistently come first). There are a couple of these
frames/bikes listed in the database of the Raleigh Team Pro Yahoo site:
