From the picture I read the frame number as:
WS701?890 - cannot really dechiffer the 6th digit
Anyways, your frame number translates into:
W: Worksop factory (closed in 1980 and all production transferred to Nottingham; stop of usage of "W" in 1990), so in reality Nottingham factory build
S: month code; "S" being December
7: year of manufacture; thus 1987
01?890: Serial unit production number
That's harsh :shock:MADB":25zr0t5q said:Cracking job you're making so far

Re: 1987 Raleigh Avanti
Cheers and thanks.
Im going to try and get the frame into Chris Marshall for it's new pain next week, it will be about 3 weeks until I get it back but it's worth it. The fame/forks etc will get properly checked and made good before painting and his finish is very nice.

Great work on the mechanicals and the wheels. The transformation on the spokes is superb - how did you do that!

Re: 1987 Raleigh Avanti
I pretty much have every sorted for this now apart from the cable outers, still don't have the frame back from Chris yet, so cable outers do I
Fit black as normal.
Fit white as I like them.
Or something a bit more radical and fit light blue at the front and white on the back following the same pastern as the frame.
What do you think?
