Hello,
now in my little shed it's a lovely approx complete WNG( minus saddle and dynamo) with frame number XG 11900
could someone help me to date this bike please???
first time for me it's not an Royal Enfield
got some questions, is it normal there is a brazed lug for the lateral stand???
and need informations on details please also.
All the best
Arnaud

Picture received Arnaud and as Mick says and from the first contract C8302. But it seems to have lost quite a few of the early features? Email sent. Ron
