Hi I snapped up this lovely Raleigh but I'm struggling to date it accurately as although the rear hub is dated 1962 it may not be original to the bike. I also thought that by 1962 rod brakes would have been well replaced with cable brakes?
What is also difficult is that the frame does not have a model name, only the maker.
If anyone can help me out that would be brilliant thank you :)

Here's the link from ebay with the sellers pics.

Welcome aboard! I think rod brakes were made well into the 60's, overseas of course, along with the enclosed chain case.
 
It most likely is a 1962, I've seen alot of raleighs over the years and alot od stuff on the bike looks like its from that year. The dyno hub may also have a date on it.
