Yeah i think it may have been. Certainly a very early picture and a non decalled gen 1 without forks would suggest its early.....

The socks are definately prototypes too, you can tell from the two stripes at the top  :) Tha later socks the stripes were closer together...

Cool picture, I have other pictures of this bike and i think the headtube is machined, but as you say, probably one of the first frames, if not the first, who knows? maybe Bob can remember..................

I emailed my mate Bob ;-), here's part of his reply:


"always good to hear from you. I do believe that is a first prototype as it has my head-tube gusset and no stickers yet on the frame. "
