Small loop world.

(as the frame is chopped) with triple discs.

 Rich,

Thanks....I had your info in the database. I added the brakes to the
info.
I
 suspect that all the bikes between Jasons and mine will (should have)
4LS
brakes.

Regards...Ian

 Hi Ian,

61096, manufacture date '73 sept.
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.

Cheers,
jason
