Title: DB Turbo Serial
Post by: Bananaman on April 13, 2007, 07:30 PM

Gents, any idea what this means................

Rear dropouts have cromo stampped in them and the serial is under the BB..............

E3120308 now the 0's look like backward C's or could be  just lightly stampped 0's that have not come out right?

Is she a Turbo? or the forks have akitsu stampped on them and HT under it?

Cheers

Lee

Looks to be too many numbers there m8... My old Turbo was 3E0100 and baseball symbol.  3=1983  E=May  The rest is the frame number.
  The forks sound like Steel forks... HT for High Tensile
