Interesting reading the questions at the bottom of the ad and Rosco's answers. Bit of history there and a pretty cool bike.

Record keeping is not what it could have been from Erics day ..... it looks unlike any Cheney frame for BSA engine I have seen. ..... single down tube and double engine cradle tubes fitting much closer to the engine is what I would expect it to have.
