Hi all, many thanx to all the replies I recieved. Seems the ole girl was older than I thought, '61-62, so older than me. It will be restored to a former glory, at least rideable with some new chrome on the forks and rear dropouts. Maybe decals and a badge, see how it all goes closer to the time........regards wayne davidson Invers NZ............
