Re: Ariel VB Bastard

Hi,

Re: Frame number identification

Hi Adrie,
I was looking under the seat, there was done some welding, so the frame number will stay a mistery.

Will post some photos of the bike in a nother post.

Hi,
Does anyone can help with identifying a frame, under the head stock I found the number ET 12xx. What year is it? And what kind of suspension should it have?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Wheels - Can you Identify Them ??

Hi,

I think this are japanese wheels, you can dismantle the tls brake plate and have a look on it from the inside. There must be a sign or a cast in mark of the producer.

Kind regards!
