I think I have talked her in to going to the Transport museum in Coventry.... Oh and pick up a frame from Lee Cooper on the way back home

Oh she's a keeper!
Some years ago I took my family to the tank museum at bovington, my partner wouldn't even come in with me but my 8yr old daughter was completely entranced by the displays - even I was flagging after a couple of hours but she had to be dragged out! Her favourite display was Lawrence's Brough Superior, good taste in moteecycles!

Here's a Soens frame for not a lot of money http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-195...3D272370535916&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460
I'd be quite tempted myself but adding postage on makes it more than I'd pay for just a frame

yeah totally agree , i have made an offer on it but carriage charge is stopping me from going higher or accepting his counter offer , so bid and won on a Lomas bike instead

Looks a bit later than 1958 to me for some reason, the fork crown in particular .............

You are right about the date. I built this frame about 1963, based on the number. Also I think the forks are not original; for a TT bike of that era they would have been oval blades. Bill Soens.
