I just added another frame to the collection that’s 36 numbers off my other 44 frame. Going by the number tracker there are 5 bikes/frames (mine included) known in Canada and one in the US within a 185 bike spread between W85505 and W85690. Sweet to have to two frames that might have rolled off the line on the same day. Plan is to build them both.

There are no factory records surviving from the period of these bikes but the contract details for S2602 show that it was scheduled for delivery at 1600 per month(at W83765)commencing January 1944.
