British Bikes / Re: 1929 Excelsior (UK)
« on: June 29, 2017, 11:34:05 AM »No frame number? Why am I not surprised? Yours is the fourth Excelsior of the period I've come across without a frame number. I don't know what Excelsior were up to but something went weird in the late 1920's after which they started a new frame numbering sequence in 1931. The frame numbers started A for 1931, B for 1932 and so on. After the year letter came the model number and then the actual frame number. At one glance you can identify what year and what model...Hello
Cheers,
[I'm new here, and specifically joined cml as I can't seem to find excelsior info anywhere else on the net]
I've go my a eye on 1938 (supposedly) excelsior 350 warrior - or possibly 250 norseman, but it does not have any paperwork - it's an ex-race bike. I had a look for a frame number on the headstock but couldn't see anything - I've since been told it may be on the seatpost? the engine is obviously not original so that doesn't help with dating either.
I would love to take it on as a project but not if I can't get an age related numberplate and so ride it on the road.
Do you know of a marque owners club?
sincerely Ben
