Post by: MB-Transits on 21.08. 2012 20:53

wonder if any one can shed any light I have bought a gold flash with a ga10 **** frame number it was registered new in 1965 it has the ga10 frame number on the 3 log books that I have for it .
I thought the ga10 frame prefix was only for RGS which this bike is not or pretending to be ANY ONE GOT ANY IDEAS HOW IT GOT THIS NUMBER

Hello can you post some pictures thats always the best.  The RGS GA10 frame has a few differences from the standard frame. 
1. Frame number stamped GA10
2. No steering head lock.
3. 4 cast lugs on front down tubes
4.  Rear set lugs on rear frame.
5  No space under battery box mountings
6.  Small hole for swingarm spindle.
7. Swing has a small hole to accomidate the goldie rear wheel
8.  Solid swingarm bolt
9. Large wrap around head gusset
I think that is it.  If I have forgotten anything let me know.  Jeff

Hi MB
  Its funny I was ready thru the Haynes manual this morning and the frame number example was a GA10 number.  You should email the VMCC library and see what they say.  Jeff

Try Ian Jackson U K   BSAOC , he has a lot of dispatch records , if he can't help from his records , he may be able to point you in the right place to get some help.
