Well according to the CR posting by Mike Mullett back in April, an SB33** serial number would fall between 1979-80. My SB 4074 was shipped from the UK about November 1980. Your frame, however, has braze ons for the brake cable atop the top tube which must have been added later OR this was a frame built for specs other than Raleigh Team. On these the braze ons were under the top tube.
