Sure, I'll check for holes in head badge area. I'll also try see what colour is inside frame (head tube or bb) to see if its different. I'll get some pics of the forks dropouts and post them up soon. Thanks

Some more pics

Would you happen to know the head size please? 1" or 1 1/8th? Thanks

What size head are these frames? 1" or 1 1/8th ?

What was the ridgebacks frame and forks made from?
