Trident register

The chrome on the frame is overall pretty good there is some chrome loss on the inside of the fork legs though

Sure does Dave it's six before mine 

but every other one is 9830##


Clint has given me a bit of info which has settled my ocd down... thanks DY85262

On the subject of frame numbers.. anyone got any thoughts on production dates? ... maybe  July, August and September of 83 ?

Sorry Dave, for some unfathomable reason I missed this post! I think you're right with that. Voris confirmed that the 1st digit is the month, the 2nd and 3rd the year and the remainder the number of the frame made that month. So mine, yours and the others beginning with a 9 would have been made in Sept and I guess those beginning with a 7 would have been from July. I wonder if any were made in August or were they closed for the summer holidays? Or summer vacation, being the US of A!

Thanks for putting these up bud  ... it's about the best i can get it to now to be Bi-Weekley spec , apart from getting a nasty ding on the l/h side of the down tube sorted, then the remainder of the decals can go on.
