hI ALL

Just had to price a collection of classic bikes for a modern bike shop.

there is a very nice G12CS Duplex frame

I can see the frame number ( thanks helpful member) is correct and the engine is correct to.#

The gearbox is stamped M then a load of numbers followed by an X

I have never seen an X before - does it mean anything special ???

i have found this text i wonder if the x is as below :-
The Matchless G12 CS (sometimes referred to as the CS X) was an off-road version of the Matchless G12 with improved ground clearance and a slightly upswept exhaust and an 8.5:1 compression ratio. It was not a trials competition machine but instead aimed at the 'desert racer' market in the US.

Strange the "X" is only on the G/Box ?.
