Donnerknall
Die Wahl fällt auf Stahl
Schwierige Frage.Was ich immer schon mal fragen wollte:
Bei welchen Modellen / Jahrgängen in der TI Lackierung waren die Steuerrohre gelb lackiert. Bisher habe ich die gelbe Lackierung bei Bahnrädern gesehen.

Ich zitiere von Neil McGowran:
Head Tube Colour…
** Comment ** At the moment, according to what is known, any SB frame in TI colours from SB51 should have a black head tube.There are only a few original paint SB frames with a yellow head tube. It is a generally accepted assumption that the head tube was changed to black at the start of 1975 (approx SB50). SB15, SB19 and SB28 are in original condition and have a yellow head tube. SB15 was recently discovered and had a black head tube but some careful paint removal has revealed the original yellow colour hiding underneath. Unfortunately, the next available frame is SB48 which sadly is a repaint and has a black head tube and also uses later style TI transfers. It appears to have been renovated to mimic the later TI style (post 1978 appearance).
I received an email recently regarding SB50 which the owner claimed to be in original condition, but at the moment I’ve not had a reply – hopefully this frame could help to narrow down the yellow/black head tube switch over. I’ll mention the head tube again under Section 10 – Paint Process. There were at least three different methods of painting the TI scheme and the way the frame was masked and painted affects how the head tube and the colour of the head lug edge adjacent to the head tube appears.
** NOTE ** There is sometimes some confusion about when the yellow head tube ceased. The confusion appears to be based on the fact that Raleigh stopped using the yellow head tube on SBDU frames but continued to us it on other non SBDU Raleigh’s after the end of 1974."
D.h. bei den SBDU-Rädern nur am Anfang und bei den Worksop-Rädern sporadisch.
So genau kann man es also nicht einschränken.
