![]() See the TI Raleigh Team Pros yahoo group for more details. The Special Build (SB) division used a serial number SBnnnn, assigned sequentially, starting in 1974. ![]() In 1982, when Worksop production was moved to Nottingham, the division continued to produce frames with the 'W' designation. Thus, 'WH4003203' would be the 3203rd frame built at Worksop in June 1974. Third Symbol is the year of manufacture, e.g. Worksop(Carlton, Sun, BSA, Triumph) - W 1958 The shops were being asked for 'specials' and so Holdsworthy allocated W F Holdsworth a block of frame numbers and Reg Collard, an ex Holdsworthy frame builder, started building Holdsworth frames to order, in a small workshop at 132 Lower Richmond Road.In 1973-74 it appears Carlton was about to start repeating the sequence and several instances of the USA Raleigh/Carlton Competition, RRA, and Professional models have been seen with Annnn serial numbers. Here, we give a listing of the serial numbers used for bikes built from the mid-1960s and onwards at the Carlton/Worksop facility, which built the high-end derailleur models. Most carbon-steel framed models were numbered sequentially, sometimes with a prefix letter.
