Thanks so much for the reply, Doug. That makes sense. On that note... Do you know much about those re-manufactured frames? - When were they made?... - How many are out there?... - What to look for in identifying? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I rather doubt this Ace has a repop frame based on the age of the restoration. The number shown on the frame axle plate was clearly added on. This being an English registered motorcycle may be the reason. It may have needed a frame number to obtain registration in the UK, so one was added. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Here is Pic... (I hope.) ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Below was a post (Post 6339) about a 1920 Ace being auctioned by Bonhams. Just FYI - Says SOLD for $70,189 Inc. Prem. I was doing some research and was closely looking at the pics provided... I enlarged a pic of the rear frame portion, and saw this number. This is clearly not an Ace frame number. Can anyone explain this? (Ace frame numbers were stamped under seat.) Is this a re-pop frame from back in the day? Anybody have any thoughts?
