Jason,
Hard to know how the company set up the runs. One would think that when they
started using a component they would stick with it. However back in the old
days they could have still been using up left over stuff intermittently as
it came in.
Sounds like my bike would have been the early Eldo with 4 shoe (and Del
Ortos) and yours would have been at the end of the production run. Tihs is
part of the reason why I am interested in documenting the numbers. You can
tell a lot based on the serial number and the components on the bike.
Hope all is well...Ian

Hi Ian,

4LS, Amals (changed to Del Orto's)
She's for sale....and I'll toss in the Amal's to boot (yecch).
Does this mean there's about 4500 of these running around? Sounds like
a lot.
