• After a recent evidential intrigue I came here to beseech once more. Only now have I seen your comment, thanks, and apologies for lack of acknowledgement.

    It is quite an odd job isn't it. Forgot about retrobike, will be posting summin'.

    The new intrigue:

    during an effort to paint the frame I found a small engraving on the fork, reading (P/R/A),C, M. Does it mean anything to anyone (recap: it is believed to be a TT Aende frame from the 70s)?

  • Is that the back of the fork? Looks to have been drilled out for a recessed Allen head nut (hence the markings being partially obliterated).

    I think that read "BCM", for Bocama: a French maker of lugs, BB shells and fork crowns.

    Yours looks like the middle one here.

    A catalogue here.

  • Ha, no way.

    The marking is on the back.

    It does look very similar to the middle one however does have some cuttouts.

    Thanks, for that.
