Is there any letter by the number. Usually the letter denotes the year. I
wonder how many frames per year did they average or make? 522 is pretty
high. Here's a link to help with dating the frame.

> The headbadge is missing and the front forks are not
> original. Frame number is 522 located under BB. There
> is also a missing oiler close to the number. Nervex
> lugs and very attractive indented chain stays this is
> a very good quality 50's road frame whoever the
> maker. Free from dings or dents. Pump pegs on down
> tube rather crudely removed (hacksaw) but enough meat
> left to file down nicely or re-braze replacements.
> Cyclo/Stallard type road ends. Frame appears to be mid
> to late 50's and is quite light.
> There are three holes in the head? Will include a pair
> of Gillott front forks which have a closing matching
> lug pattern but the column will need lengthening.
> This will make up into a very beautiful 50's Scottish
> or English classic road bike but only suitable for
> serious and dedicated restorers. Nothing major or
> daunting but be aware of costs.
> UK price £32.00 includes Parcelforce. Overseas by air
> Insured £100.00.
