Got a very knackered chopped up one "appears to be mild steel". from a non expert Tim754
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

In the Honda brochure it's claimed to be chromoly but who knows, seems more like mild steel.

The grinder sparks I got suggested mild steel to me and the  metal fabrication engineer beside me;) Cro/Mo frames advertising? one of the biggest rip-off, lie, swindle, loads of bullshit that went around, rates higher than smooth power over a wide range of revs on your early 100/125 MX.
