Re: Frame number
Thanks Stu, so I have learned something, I always thought, the number went to the headstock area when the duplex frame was introduced. Which I believe is what the parts lists state. Seems the page was not updated for 56/57. They probably carried an erratta slip, it seems only erratta's that were stuck in survived to this day. I recently came across a 1929 AJS sales cat. that had a 2 page suppilment stuck on it. Up untill then, nobody I know was aware of the suppliment.

My 56 has the number on the rear down tube! And before you ask Mr Dating Officer, you already have a picture of it.
