HEy Quicky, be careful nickel finishes mean nothing i got 3 here in nickel a boss, champion and a trackmaster, they are all the same and other than number that mean nothing unless you know how they code out the only way to tell them appart is the style, usually they are differant in the rear loops, the centre frame or maybe the geometry of bracing.  MAny hand made frame of that era dont even have a maker stamp, just a build number as in #49.   Some guys actually welded the initials of the rider on the frame  which you can use to confirm it was build for a certain rider.  anyway back to the point the colour or finish of the frame means nothing unless its red  ;D

By sheer coincidence I was looking at Mark Holoways Swap Meet site this morning and found the following ad
 FOR SALE
Ad # 3127124 July 16, 2008
 
"BOYD & STELLINGS TM400 Suzuki. The one with the aluminum swingarm and adjustable steering head. Project bike.
Would probably take most vintage 2 stroke or a BSA single motor. For photos email me. asking $1400 OBO
     Bob Neilson
Henderson, Nv
Email  "

Bob Neilson was the original owner of the Cheney TM400. This is obviously another of his collection. I'm not aware of what a Boyd and Stellings frame is like but I have one of their swingarms on my 350 Maico and it's quality gear. I'd love to see a photo of this one. Sounds cheap.
