(some interesting points that arise over time) B44 Unstamped Frank Allinson This bike has engine number B44 180 which was despatched in frame B44 142. The engine has sandcast cases. Engine number B44 104 is in Brisbane, Australia in Cheney #61 Genuine GP frame - unstamped gusset , but EA 1870 stamped on forging Peter Du Pratte U.S.A. For example two members with the same frame number; a frame number that does not appear in the despatch records or an unstamped frame. All these cases have arisen. Add in that some replica frames have been made and some road frames have been modified to look like a GP. The custodian of the register (me at the moment) is here to record not judge these interesting historical stories. I can offer an opinion if asked. It is fairly obvious whether the frame is genuine if you know what to look for. Engine number B44 184 appeared on ebay Nov 2017. Has been modified to take a magneto driven off camshaft.Platform welded on front engine mount; roller bearing replaces camshaft bush.
