Hey all,
I'm not sure if I have posted this in the correct section but I
was wondering if anybody could help me identify the maker of this
frame / give any suggestions / general information about it.
I won it through an online auction and I have the intention of
giving it a new paint job and some new parts but I'm interested
to find out a bit more about the frame before I start.
Serial Number reads : 74143
It has some 'bi-plane' forks which I don't see very often so they
might have the strongest indication of the maker, I'm not sure sure.
Any suggestions? Could it be a Bosomworth?
Headset threads are italian i believe.
Could the serial number 74143 indicate 1974?
Here are some images of the frame:
