Subject: [CR]More relevant Team Raleigh Info?

Hi folks, A friend yesterday bought a Team Raleigh SB159 at a pawn shop. It sounds a lot like the one that was discussed a few days back, and it has a chrome fork. The question is that it has a 26.6 seatpost which from past posts leaves me to believe its an early 753 frame with metric tubing. But team's with 753 according to a post a few days ago should not have been available with chrome. So - this one seems like the one on ebay which was claimed to have 753. Does this also sound like a 753 bike but perhaps Raleigh made some with chrome 531 forks? Or did they do the evil chrome deed on 753 anyway? What else would explain the 26.6 seatpost? It is a large frame (marked 62 I think) but that would explain a 27.0 or perhaps a 26.8 post, not a 26.6. Any input would be appreciated. If my question was answered previously I appologize as its been hard to keep up with all the posts out there. Thanks gang! Mike Kone in Boulder CO
