> I have read the thread on this subject with interest; however, the
markings on my Raleigh do not fit the pattern described in the Raleigh memo
on Steve Birmingham's message of 8/3/07.
> I am the original owner of a Raleigh International that I ordered from a
shop in Minneapolis in 1973. I have the 1973 Raleigh catalog, together
with a separate price list, printed on a card and dated April 26, 1973.
In the catalog the International is described as being built in the Carlton
works, and I am certain that my bicycle originally had a small decal near
the bottom of the seatpost indicating it was built in Carlton.
> My International has the serial number G4380 stamped on the bottom
bracket shell running parallel to the plane of the chain rings near the
fixed cup. Also stamped in the center of the shell are what appear to
be two T's with the stems likewise parallel to the plane of the chair rings.
> I don't know whether all this information is significant, but thought it
might be of some interest to those interested in Raleighs.
