Hi all ,just bought this greeves logbook says reg dec 8th 1959 but frame no says 60/ and then no.presume this is normal ,i think its pretty well original apart from the footrests but the originals came with it as did a replica rubber saddle .Its never been fully apart and from what the previous owner tells me is still on its original paint etc,last taxed 1974!.runs ok but im going to give it a good looking over before trialing it, im inclined to leave it as it is and not restore it but the wheels let it down

Originally posted by Stuart Baskill View PostThe 1960 bikes were made from approx September 1959 to August 1960 so the frame number looks correct .I dont think yours had a rubber seat originally .Otherwise it looks pretty original so keep it that way.Around that time the rear frame changed from bolted top rail to welded so I would try to get more info.
