A Brief Note on BSA Cycle Frame Dating Frame numbers are a notoriously poor guide to BSA dating. They were not sequential and there are no known company records. However, in the V-CC BSA file are the ledgers from Astleys of Oldham (1934 to 70) who were a large volume seller (50 to 120 bikes a year)....

I just love Easter Eggs, amusing little treats within apps. There was one in Quark Express where an alien would come on screen and use his ray gun to delete grouped elements.

I have done a search for Thompson bottom bracket parts and there are a few out there that would take cottered cranks, or you could just use the missing bits. I have recently picked up a bike fitted with a Shimano Thompson style double chainset.

I am fairly sure my friend David Hibbard's Grubb trike has its number on the head lug

Thanks for your kind comments guys. It gets ridden regularly and is a very pleasant ride.

This is my 1965 Moulton Automatic with a duomatic 2 speed and coaster hub. £25 at a jumble plus a lot of time and some money.
