trials frame.

hi derek.
The frame you have is a 1960 tcs scottish trials, engine was 32a 246cc & the type is m13, you did purchase the frame from myself & hope you were pleased with it, seeing this has reminded me that you require a reciept for registration purposes which i will do now, dave.

Hi Derek, and a warm welcome to the forum!

For information, on the main GRA website there is a page to assist with identifying Greeves from their frame numbers. Click on this link; http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/identify

1960 24TCS Scottish Trials 246cc Villiers 32A M13 60/1400

Also, the GRA holds the original factory dispatch records where they may be a little more information about the bike the frame was original fitted to (where it was originally dispatched to, any 'special order' items, etc.) Club members can request a search of the records and further details on this service are in 'Leading Link' (club newsletter). There is further information on archive material on the GRA website;http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/archives

All the best with your rebuild!

Brian.
