Shawn: That would be great. Defining characteristics are the twin top tube, 3-speed hub, full generator lighting, factory rack, seat bag, chrome fenders. The owner will be very happy if we can find out what she's got. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy

In my not-that-educated knowledge of Raleigh of that era, it's hard to pinpoint some of these off models, as the online record of catalogs (US, UK, etc) are spotty and have several year gaps. Also, since Raleigh was the 800 pound gorilla of the industry of that era who did what they wanted to and m

Again, close but not exactly the same. The bike in my photos has a twin top tube, and a very 1960s-ish chrome fin on the top of the chainguard. It also apparently came with the rear rack built it. Not shown in the photos is a matching Raleigh seat bag that the owner took off so it wouldn't get s

Here's another catalog from Three Speed Hub. This is 1962 UK catalog(ue). Go down to page 34 and 35 and check out models 45L and 49L. http://threespeedhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Raleigh-Catalog-1962-UK1.pdf -Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group

Yep, there. Also, the Headbadge has a larger repository of Raleigh catalogs: http://www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_raleigh_catdata.html This is the 1967 one, but the Mountie is the only model that has a frame that looks like the one in Eric's photos: http://www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_raleigh_cat_us67.html -Sh

Eric- My educated guess is that it's a "Mountie" model. Here's the 1967 catalog page: http://www.kurtkaminer.com/1967raleighcat_us_05_lg.jpg The Mountie was a 20" wheeled bike, and it's hard to tell from your photo what size wheels/how big the bike is. And in the catalog the Mountie was a singl

Michael, Yes, you had to register a bike. At least until the mid 1970's. Most cities had special stickers or plates. Have not seen that particular St. Louis Park one before. But I don't look hard enough for them. Honestly, I would love to find a few and put on my Rivendell bikes. That might
