That'll help ensure that thieves have a harder time selling your bike if it's stolen, and give the cops some ammo if they have to go looking for your missing ride. There are several sources for Worksop frame number information, but with every piece of information on the internet, the very first things you should ask yourself is… where does this information come from.? Some resources mention the move in 1986 and some refer to 1987 and the way my timeline has worked out, it seems to have been the period between the two years, it could have been the end of 86 or the start of 87. The only section you need to date these frames is the first number (the third section of the frame number) – in the example I am using it is a ‘6‘, so it is this part of the frame number that I’ll start with. Worksop and Ilkeston are steeped in history and unfortunately Nottingham SBDU and Lightweight Unit frames seem to be placed in a lower class. This is followed by another alphabet. The ‘W’ reference was introduced in late 1973, The ‘W’ reference indicates Worksop built until May 1981, The ‘W’ reference indicates Nottingham Lightweight Unit built from October 1981, The 2nd letter is one of 12 assigned letters denoting the month of production, The first number in the sequence is the year of production, repeated every 10 years between 1973 and 1989, The last 6 numbers are reportedly a production number, The ‘W’ reference is well known and accepted, frames are easily identifiable and frame dating is straightforward, The SBDU Ilkeston era is less well known or accepted but the timeline I have put together is holding up well, The SBDU era at Nottingham seemed to last from 1987 to the end of 1988 although it is proving more difficult to put a timeline together due to the lack of available frames, The period of 1989 to 1990 and the start of Raleigh Special Products Division together with how the numbering system worked is a little confusing but getting clearer, The anomalies of small clusters of SBW and SC numbers will hopefully become clearer as more frames surface. As the interest in vintage road bicycles grows, serial number data bases grow too. From mid-1987 through the fall of 2009, the serial number contains an easy-to-understand date code. Recalls Recall information can be found on our Recall page. I always keep an eye on this system and also receive regular emails about it so I’m sure my data will grow soon and I’ll be able to add more concrete detail to this. Your bike is one-of-a-kind, and not just because you've spent countless rides getting everything perfectly dialed in. This happened for most builders at some point during 1979/1980 which makes it the very first thing I check, Another clue could be standard nutted brakes or later recessed allen key brakes, If paint and transfers are original then Reynolds frame transfers for 531 frames can be used for dating, they were very different between the 70s and 80s. So, turn your bike around and look for the spot where the two pedal cranks join. The police found her car and my bike was inside. Before they even leave the factory, each bike is given a unique birthmark on the bottom bracket. It specifically mentions that “Raleigh lightweight bicycles and framesets are hand built in the Special Products Division“. These ‘SC’ referenced frames are all in the SC1000 – SC1200 range. I used records of actual owner receipts together with knowledge of tubing spec changes and Reynolds transfer changes to identify a new timeline.
