You got me thinking now.............maybe your frame is/was a CS frame fitted with the smaller tank and had a different fixing at the rear.

I don't think they produced CS's in 1958, the year this frame was manufactured, also the dating letter I have from Roy Bellet makes no mention of it being a CS.

Did you intend those photos to go to the Quizmaster, Rob?

The pictures looked OK when I first posted them, just the 58 bike shot a bit blurred as I forgot the macro setting. Why they look so large now is a mystery to me.

250 CS was introduced mid year 1959
