Frame

841004

Untraced

“Complete Cycle”, underlined, is written across the head of the sheet — an order for a whole bicycle rather than a frameset. Delivery was promised at “6 weeks approx”. The date received carries no year, so none is recorded here; the sheet sits in the 1984 run by its frame number only. The gear-lever-clip-pip entry is read as “Yes” from a fast hand.
