This looks like proof that the earliest Gen 1 frames were not welded underneath - what's the frame number Jay?

harris · « **Reply #6 on:** December 31, 2006, 05:42 PM »

right,i must have missed the first bit, about early ones being unwelded.

My Gen1 bitd wasn't welded underneath either, probably why the gusset cracked a lot at that point, not that my one did

Mine wasn`t welded at first, but after it cracked and was sent back to Gecko the early distributers it came back welded, but not with chrome over the new weld
