Hello,
my Name is Bernhard and I am from Germany. and sorry for my English I am not a native speaker.
by chance I came across an old frame which was in a barn find chopper.
After sandblasting of the heavy molded frame and grind out some of the sheet metal covers, following came up.
The neck is from a shovelhead frame.
It goes from the gas tank mount to half way of the down tubes.
The down tubes goes all the way in one piece from the shovelhead neck welds to the rear axle plates and both tubes have a smaller diameter as the shovelhead neck, the diameter of the tubes are 1 inch, exactly.
the foundry mark at the seat post says "XE-624" and is much bigger as usual.
All joints are brazed, only the visible later additional stuff is welded like the third gearbox bracket. The later done weldings are easy to realize because this ones are bad done, but all the brazing is nicely done
On the down tubes there is some trace braze roundabout 2 1/2 inch above the front motor mount.
The brake window at the left end is open.
but please see the pictures and help me identify the frame.
