    I believe HP is 1941/42, UP is 53/54.

    Mystery frame?

    Hi Jesper, Thanks for your input. The alphanumerics below Nervex on the BB are 61964°0222P30, I assumed that this was a part/patent/casting number, as it's all small font. Could the first part indicate June 1964, for the lug itself at least? BB is 66.3 mm wide, English thread. Seat pin approx...

    Mystery frame?

    Having cleaned back the bottom bracket and squinted at it in late afternoon light, I've been able to pick out a feint frame number, 11243, but nothing else definite. The numbers are round the RHS edge of the BB, rather than across. Any ideas, anyone? Could it be a date?

    Mystery frame?

    They came to me together and had the same primer and top coats, but who knows before that? Good point about Super Virus date, though. The search goes on....

    Mystery frame?

    Not sure if it's relevant, but I've just found SV.971 stamped at the outside top of the RHS fork leg. Does that correspond with any known frame builder/ make?

    Mystery frame?

    Yes, I too suspect lens distortion at the edge of the phone lens. Tried a straight edge on top and bottom of top and down tubes, it's fine. Also no damage to forks, although obviously they could have been changed. Bottom bracket is Philips, with a replacement Japanese cup on LHS.

    Mystery frame?

    I see what you mean, non- fixie, but I think it's just a thick layer of paint cracking. I've since stripped the paint, no obvious signs of damage around the lug or tube.

    Mystery frame?

    Thanks to Old Ned and curyam, I now know that my frame isn't a Clive Stuart, but I'm no nearer knowing what it is. I've removed most of the paint, without finding a frame number. There's no number stamped on the agrati rear drop outs, and if the Nervex bottom bracket did once have a number...

    Bright ideas for spreading dropout - not widening OLN?!

    Large adjustables and Stilsons often have a hole in the end of the handle for hanging them up. Slip the end of the drop out through the hole and gently lever open the gap to suit.

    Thanks Ned. So if not CS, what is it, anybody?

    Clive Stuart frame?

    Hello Experts, As a newbie I'd like to appeal to your expertise in identifying my recently acquired frame. It has the remains of Clive Stuart transfers, but I can't find a frame number and it doesn't seem to match anything I've seen online for CS bikes. Main frame colour is metallic blue with...
