  • Greeves frame number mystery

    I have a 1961 Greeves frame with serial number 61 / 2317 but a machine with this number is not shown in the Greeves factory despatch records held by the GRA. There is only one 1961 machine recorded in the 2300 series in the despatch records and that is a lonely number 2379. Does anyone know of any other 1961 Greeves with a frame serial number between 2300 and 2399 ? I would like to solve the mystery simply out of curiosity.

    61/2317

    What type of bike is the frame from Ian? I have a 24TDS listed with a frame number 61/3217 that was on eBay in May 2015. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/greeves-25...p2047675.l2557 and previously sold by Bonhams http://www.bonhams.com/search/?q=61/...3217%2BGreeves
    I wonder if its the same bike & the number was listed wrong. I have come across a few numbers that seem out of sequence possibly extras added after the original allocation was used up.
    Of course it could be an exported bike for which the club have no dispatch records. Can you attach a pic, (you have to do it via a photo hosting site as you are not a full member)

      John (and everyone else). Humble apologies. I made a mistake on my frame number. It is 61 / 2316 (not 2317). (a slip of the keyboard !!!). However your reply is very helpful as it shows there is at least one other machine out there within the 2300 series. I am unsure of my frame type but it is probably the same model as your 2316. Many thanks.
