FS 1366 - 1985
This
must be amongst the first of the Flying Scot's built by M.Steels for
Dales Cycles in 1985. Although it has "repainted" (it was originally
white), the headtube transfer was retained, and is identical to that
on the later frame No.5068. These were the only Scot's to be built and
named "Flying Scot" curiously omitting the word "The" that constitutes
part of the trademark owned by Dales. It could well be that these frames
used transfers designed before Dales legally acquired the trademark.

Note the use of the similar engraved top eye, that was a feature of the last of the Rattray's built Scot's. The only difference is that the name reads from top to bottom here in this case. |
