1. Putting a brave face on it. 2. Raleigh Rapide- Mike has had it since 17! Look at those friction-free steel rims. 3.Let them eat cake- but somewhere else!
Jeff just to let you know I read Mike's write-up with interest and to also inform access to the comment came up instantly. Now I will "click" on publish and see if it works.
Duncan, the serial number is on the back of the seat tube it will be two letters followed by a series of numbers. to date it accurately use this website http://www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_raleigh_serials.html#19731982 I also have one of these bikes it is made in May 1974 in the Nottingham factory. Brian

I have the same green raleigh rapide. I can't seem to be able to find a serial number... any ideas?
Duncan.
Frame numbers are usually, but not exclusively on the underside of the bottom bracket shell.
I had one frame with a plastic cable guide under the B/B and the frame number was hidden under that.
Alternatively I have seen frame numbers stamped on the rear dropouts.
Hope this helps, if you see any of it!
