PC, Beautiful bike, hope I can get mine to look half as nice.
My "white" headtube and transfers are quite yellowed. Did you have this problem? If so how did you get your whites so bright?
I noticed that yours has a lamp bracket mount on the outside of the right fork leg while mine just has a small (4mm diameter 5mm long) peg on the inside of the leg, approx. the same distance up the leg.
Does anyone know of a lamp bracket type that would utilize such a peg? I assume it would clamp on the leg and the peg would keep it from moving.
BTW Is it possible your is a '57 and not a '58? This would explain
the white panel on the seat tube and different transfers. I've never
found a Raleigh serial number resource that lists numbers that look
anything like your 3766AD or my 7062RA. However, these numbers don't
look like they would be from the same year on a machine made in small
numbers. Mine has the all black seat tube and the transfers as shown
