>It might be a very well made frame etc, etc but the seller is making a claim that can't be proven I guess unless he can find a serial number or something else that can help find out what this bike actually is. Without that it is preposterous to claim the frame might be anything more than a frame similar in style to a Herse or Singer. My two cents.
