Hi,
I have been following the forums for a couple of years, but have not posted before. As an introduction I am a life long British bike enthusiast located in Calgary, Alberta. My major hobby is restoring and riding brit bikes. I have a small collection of interesting bikes that have stuck around over the years. My interest in Greeves goes back to riding a Greeves Scotish in trials with the Eltham and District club back in the early 60's. About 4 years ago I picked up the remains of an MX3 that had been desert raced in US. That bike is now about 75% restored and planned to be completed next winter. Last weekend I acquired another project bike at a swap meet. By researching the web and books I am fairly confident that it is either an MDS or MCS 2 circa 1962. My question is did Greeves issue replacement frames without stampings. On the new bike I can find no signs of a number on the headstock and no evidence that one has been removed.
Cheers
Roger
