Re:

Made on the production line in the Nottingham factory, March 1975?

Will happily be corrected by some higher authority!

Hey all! been awhile, hope you all enjoying pedaling in the sun & stopping at all those beer gardens : )

I have loads on new & refub chromey bits to put on my bike & am ready to spray my frame, but I cant get the stem out!!!!! its stuck fast, I mean fast, tried everything in this video!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GRbdnTRH-4

I need to get a 2nd hand one, but am slightly unsure of the following

My question is: The curl/angle at the bottom of forks is the same for all raleighs of similar age? obviously i need a 1" stem approx same length, enough thread length, suit 27" wheel

any help much appreciated. thanks again
 
Re:

Have you loosened the stem bolt a good few turns and then tapped it downwards with a hammer to loosen the wedge ?
I would be surprised if its that stuck.

Have you watched that video? It took so long to get out that the guy even went on holiday half way through!
If our friend has tried everything in that video, he hasn't got much left to work with.
 
Legends! Thanks for the input, the vimeo vid is super funny & yep he deffo had to have a holiday due to the stress caused by stem removal.

But i cant get the stem nut out "so i'm pretty f*k'd" as they would say! I even tried spinning the wedge nut 90deg & got a solid bar down the side & hit it one side then other/other/other, they tapped in this video/I really hit it & it just laughed at me : ( so 2nd hand forks for me!
