Frame

13853

Untraced

The date-received line is blank, so no year can be given; “£175” is written at the top right and a deposit of £30-00 was taken. “FAST-BACK.” is written and underlined in a heavier hand above the name, and “700c” underlined at the head of the sheet. On the mudguard-clearance line the YES is struck through, so this frame was built without guard clearance, unusually for this batch.
