Pre-WW2 BSA, something of a diamond in the rough I believe

[Scott-S]

I don't think they were ever chromed but had been powder coated at some point, the stem and seat post are also steel.

The forks, rear dropouts are chromed and the original buyer also paid the extra 10 bob to have the head tube lugs chromed.

I have stripped back the paint on the BB, top of the seat post tube and rear dropout and no sign of a frame number or one having been removed.

I see tweed in my future.

I saw the distinguished gents oversized tweed safety helmet and it made me remember the Goodies and their Ecky Thump sketch

Signing up. Nice find. Looks in great shape and 1.7 kg

I have just clocked something in that BSA poster upthread. The seatpost is drillium!

I have been searching but i can't find a drilled seatpost from the black and white days.

Is the only component not listed in the spec. Must've been used on the lighter version, i guess, and must be as rare as rocking horse doodoo.
