Hi Crew,
Just before Xmas I brought home an SB Ilkeston Team Raleigh frame that
was supposed to be left here in Australia in the early 70s after an
international racing event of some sort by its German rider. On the TT,
a Brugelmann decal is installed on either side towards the saddle. The
previous owner had the notion that Brugelmann was the rider's name, but
with the recent discussion about the Special Lightweight Brugelmann SC
Cinellis that have been current, I was wondering if there is any
knowledge of Brugelmann of Franfurt's connection with Raleigh Ilkeston
or their possible sponsoring of a rider. The frame is 21", 531 and in
really nice condition. Serial numbers are SB758 and on the other side of
the slotted BB shell - '57' with what looks like an upturned TI close
by.
