Identify frame
« on: March 07, 2012, 12:43:51 PM »
  Hi this is my first post on this forum but hopefully not my last.  My brother in law has delivered to me today a frame which I can't identify, so here I am hoping that someone on here may be able to help. I have now found a frame number under were the seat would be and on the right hand side ( 42783) hope this helps.
                                                                                        Zane.

  Have had a good look over the frame but can't find a number, might have to remove some paint to find it.  If anyone has an idea what the frame could be and where the frame the number might be that will make it easier to find.

   Hi again, I have managed to find a number on the frame.  It is on the right hand side under where the seat would be. (42783) and the numbers run upwards.  Hope this helps to id this frame. I have modified my original thread to add this.

Hi,
Ariel frames have a letter or letters prefix on the frame numbers,
Are there letters stamped on your frame?
