NOTE: NO CHAIN TENSION ARM CABLE AND THE THREE SPEED CHANGER IS WITHOUT WING NUT ON THE SHIFT LEVER WHICH APPEARED IN 1937 PAINTWORK AND TRANSFERS ARE ORIGINAL. THE NAMEPLATE IS A WORK OF ART, SHOWING CYRUS IN MINUTE DETAIL AND ENAMMELLED CUT OUT BACKGROUND. FRAME NUMBER 3028. IDEALE SADDLE, PEUGEOT FREEWHEEL AND SUPER CHAMPION ALUMINIUM SPOKE GUARD. BRAKES CORRESPOND TO 1936 CATALOGUE, BUT MADE OF STEEL. POSSIBLY EXPORT QUALITY OR CHANGED AT A LATER STAGE. HOPEFULLY THE ABOVE IDENTIFICATION IS ACCURATE.
