I just got delivery of a Raleigh Super Course, 25", root beer / coffee.
Any idea of the date of this one?
Here are links to a couple pics:

The name decals have the newish "Rampar" look. Shimano Crane rear der, Suntour Cyclone front, cottered Stronglight crank, B17, Capella lugs.
Serial number 0081167. (1967?)
License tag says 1974.
To me, it has a mix of 60's and 70's feel to it.
It's in pretty darn nice condition. A bit more faded (and scratched) than I'd hoped for. That coffee/rootbeer to me only comes on strong without sun-fade. It loses a lot to the sun. I don't like the "HotWheelz" era name decals. A couple paint blobs at lugs. But no stretch in chain. Everything was clean, fresh and true. Rides nice! I dunno what I'll do with it yet.
