The Cheney's either been sold or pulled. I sure hope that whoever bought it checks the bikes details and history (and especially the frame #) before any money changes hands. It ain't what it seems.

Looks odd, frame tube diameters and the fact that it has a nice coat of Dulux house white .....

Hmmm been trolling the Cheney owners group for early frames, they all seem to be single downtube, quite different looking.

Yes for all the frames built for the B44/50 engine, also even the twin frame you can see the frame tube are tucked in much tighter
