Rigid Frame rear section differences

Post by Rubicon »

I have a 49 rigid frame G80, my query is that in order to fit the rear chainguard I have had to extend the fixing to the primary chaincase by approx 35mm. I know the C versions were shorter wheelbase, this one seems to be longer than standard. Does anyone know which year the rear section of the frame is, or why mine is different?

My 49 frame needed an extension to the fitting point on the chainguard so it's probably correct. I think the correct fitting was a bracket which fitted under the battery holder.

Ok thank's for that, I haven't seen any mention of this anomaly previously so was curious.
By the way if anyone is thinking of getting an Indian made replacement chainguard, I would suggest you don't, they are rubbish!
