Raleigh Super Course dating

Recently picked up a 25.5" bronze green Super Course, which, as far as I can reckon from internet documentation, is a 1970 or 71. Would like to pin it down, if anyone can help with the info.

swift trade?

I have a brown swift in very good shape (barely a year old), and wouldn't mind trading for a black swift in like condition (or maybe a team pro?). Lemme know if anyone is interested.

I just got a better pic of the hub, and indeed, it reads "Resilion", with a capital B on the other side.
It does seem odd to me that an English company would choose an American badge. Unless there's...

50s-60s English Pierce-Arrow?!?

A friend has a Pierce-Arrow ladies bike, clearly not pre-1930, and labelled as made in England. It has what appears to be a single-speed coaster brake hub, stamped with something like "RESKION B"....

I didn't see a shim in there. Could have slipped, I suppose. I guess the Kalloy wasn't original, anyway - the seat is not the old Brooks B-15, either.

71 Schwinn Sports Tourer seatpost size

Just picked up a burgundy 71 ST - looked at the straight Kalloy aluminum seatpost, and it reads "26.6". I had read somewhere that the SS and presumably ST ran a 26.8. Can anyone confirm which is...

Ah, that's part of the confusion. I believe that bolt welded to the frame had been sheared off at some point in the bike's past, because there's just a stub there. Guess job #1 is to drill it out?...
