I had a good look and the brake holes are in the same place as Eds but there is no serial number, can anyone put a year on the frame and forks?

Forks are now stripped and will be off to Superbikedans shortly  :4_17_5:

Regards

As the others have said frame number should be near the laser cut dp if there was one. I had one the other year the amount of digits is purely dependent on what the number is. Mine was a three digit.
Don't think I have seen a chrome one of these either, pity it's too far gone.
A cracking find especially for £40 :daumenhoch:

It is an early one from the Flint Factory there is no exact year for these my best guess would be 83 because I had 1043 for Christmas 1983 :daumenhoch:  Not sure when the factory started in Wales but I am sure it was late 1982 :daumenhoch: which would make sense

It is not Exact as there is no living register that I know of unless firebird has it,  I just lived by the factory and new alot of the people that worked there BITD.. the Warrington frames had no serial numbers so it is a good start point.  The GL's were made from Mid 1985
