>Hello- In addition to the Fuji Finest I bought recently I bought a Raleigh Pro. I have started the process of figuring out what I really have. So I first tried to find a time line for serial numbers. I tried searching the list archives and the internet with out any luck so far. I know that this has been discussed here before but can't find the right search prompt to uncover any posts on this topic.

>The bike I have is the Brampton Victor fast back stayed, Cinelli full sloping crown, version. Blue and silver. Serial # WK4005957. 21 1/2" size. It was built up from a frame and fork before I bought it and the parts are a mix of Campy from the mid 1970s. Straight QR levers on both skewers and brakes. Rr der is stamped 75. Crank has the bulge at the Rt side axle hole (on the inside of the spider). The seat, wheels, bar and stem are not original to the bike.
