@BigBlock
are you willing to disclose your 1946 serial number? (OK to substitute the last 2 numbers with NN)
I have a theory on working out the elusive 1946 serial numbers.
I am suggesting the third and fourth digit represent the month, and the remainder represent the sequential build number for the year.
The numbering was changed in 1947 to have the month as a letter followed by the year. So it makes sense.
The bike is stripped down, ready for its back seat ride to Adelaide (1386kms away) later this week.
The seller described my frame as a Raceweight. Yet to be confirmed.
