Hi Georg,

I'm also puzzling over a Raleigh bicycle at the moment! :) If the frame is Reynolds tubing in my opinion this should put it towards the higher end of the Raleigh product line. First thing I would look for is the frame number and try to work out the year it was made. A couple of guides to help you work this out can be found:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh_Bicycle_Company#Serial_numbers http://www.jaysmarine.com/TH_raleigh_serials.html

If you manage to work out the year, I would try to find a catalogue from around the same period to work out the original spec. Some catalogues available online are here:

Hope this helps! Kind Regards,
