If I remember rightly the first letter is where it was made (C = Chatsworth), next letter is the month and the number is the year.

What is the number?

CJO = Chatsworth made Oct 1980 so it is probably a full cro-mo (Either a Team or a Supergoose)

The 345392  is the actual serial number (depending on the order of the numbers that you have quoted)

A pic would help of the frame and the number layout under the BB

The rest 24 and BH216PL is probably a house number and postcode so why not trace the original owner! :LolLolLolLol: On second thoughts don't as it might have been nicked BITD!

As I said the CJO 345392 is the serial no.

Nice!

isn't motomag rhyming slang? if so a bottle of white lightning should do the job  ::)
