Frame

8714

Untraced

A track frame, so the gear, brake and clearance lines are left empty or struck through — the sprint/H.P. and mudguard entries are scribbled out and the lugs line holds only a dash. Deposit received “YES”, delivery promised six weeks. The finish is unusually fully specified for so sparse a sheet: bright yellow with black bands and lining throughout.
