Looks like it could possibly be an old Metamachex one way to tell is there will be a number stamped into the brace on the frame spindle mounting. I have an old catalogue with the part numbers so can check for you cheers mate , that name rings a bell, i,ll look for the number if i get chance today,, is it worth anything these days Mike don't take less than £250 they are well sought after now. Ebay it mate and watch the £££££££££££'s roll in. |
