Hi all,

Sorry my first post is a "please help" post - I plan to stick around - this is why I purchased a frame with a restoration plan.. Now I think ive done the wrong thing!

I have searched and found reference to a frame that I won on ebay last night - J3446358 is the serial number but this is not on the underneath -

The serial number is on the right rear drop out.

Having searched and found this frame seeming to change hands quite frequently and there a mystery surrounding it I am not sure if I should proceed with the purchase or not..   

Any help identifying if this is any good or not would be great.  Im apprehensive about buying a cheap "knock off" not only as it would be a waste of time building but if it collapsed while one of my kids were riding it Id be not too happy!

Cheers,

Alan

It's not a Hawk... it's not got the high (burneresque) seat tube like a Scorcher.
Message insectbones (Lee) he's got a very similar if not the same frameset... he's spent a while trying to identify his.. he may have some info for you.  :daumenhoch:

It's a lovely frame either way.  :daumenhoch:
