Hi Mark, I am 99% sure that that is a Flying Scot. So not English or
American. The frame number is 233H not a 5. The scalloped top eye and the
dropouts are typical. I have a road/path from 1955 which is very similar.
There may also ne a number/letter behind the fork crown. You may be able to
accesss Bob Reids' Flying Scot website on the Wayback Machine. I have heard
that Bob is going to relaunch it. The H is a year code.
I am not sure why there are no mudguard eyes on the rear dropouts. Is
there veidence for them bing removed?
