I am bumping this thread back up, as it was rather swamped immediately after I posted it, by a whole series of posts about Tony's 325 East Coaster, which was very interesting. That seems to have died down now, so I thought this deserved resurrecting, because this too is a very interesting machine, possibly unique.
Ok gents, thanks. Obviously a known bike. My description of it as a roadster is not entirely accurate, but with full lighting and road equipment, and not a speck of mud in sight, it appears to be used as such.
Given that on the headstock where the frame number would normally be, there is a raised land in the casting, it is perhaps one of Richard Deal's frames.
The Deal Millennium frames featured a raised land in the recognised place used to stamp frame numbers. The prefix letters and numbers (24TJSB) were cast in leaving a space for the 4 digit number which for the Anglian was in the 20## series.
Various schools of thought as to how many Deal frame loops were cast. Clearly, there was a surplus hence the source of the Vic Allan machine. The cast in letters clearly machined off to avoid confusion.
