No not taking it out buying it dinner then sleeping with it   (mind you they don't eat much but they do get grease on the sheets...   )

  • FRAME NUMBER

This is found on the rear of the seat tube at the bottom facing the rear mud guard.

And here as a table for you to work out the digits

  • STURMEY ARCHER GEAR HUBS

The date stamp can ce found either across the hub or around it depending on the year.

And here is a table to work out the date stamps

The dates should be almost exact as Sturmey archer had an production line at the Raleigh factory thus the frames and hubs were made vitualy at the same time

also you should check your hub date against the date you get off the frame number, this will tell if you wheels have ever been changed etc

just looked on my grifter the number lines up with february of well.... i duno the date on here says 1983 but february falls after 1984 the feb of 1984 does this mean mine is a mk2?  sturmey archer hub is 76-12 1976 - december right is this correct or are these wheels wrong for the frame??

found this on a web site, thought it might be useful to post up.

It's an official Raleigh fact sheet on frame dating.
