Anyone have a (reasonably) reliable guide to dating BSA frames?
Picked it up today, a single speed (no gearing at all seems evident), 'BSA' lettered chainset if that helps. I'm told it's late '50's / early 60's - has the 'BSA' lettering decal down the seat tube with a small star between each letter, water-transfer by the looks of.
Numbered on the seat post lug, four numbers and two letters.
It's not the end of the world if I don't pin it down, just nice to know. Will be re-storing as a single speed town runabout.
cheers
Richard
