I'm asuming the frame's for an AJS Stormer / Villiers Starmaker engine and not a 4 stroker Jon. The oil in frame top rail throws me. I've never seen or heard of one and reckon this is an odd one. Are you sure it's a Cheney? If it is, that has Eric making (at least) three distinctly different frames for 70s two strokes when he could have got by with the one design and modified it to suit as the Rickmans did.
Where do you find these bloody things?
Hi Firko, its not a oil in frame, i can see how you made that mistake with the large backbone of frame . yes its for the stormer / starmaker engine. if you have ever seen a ajs frame bare its very similar but about half the weight. everything about it seems to be cheney. steering stops / seat mounts through the side of seat/ side panel duze type fixings/footrests/ chrome ect. think this may of been made for one of the ajs factory riders with him being told not to change the design to much from the standard Ajs frame, Hopefully someone will know more about this frame (bike). . thanks jon

Sometimes ask myself that same question, but when i here of something rare like this i just have to take a look, the problem is it ends up coming home with me.
