Example dates from the latter part of frame production. These frames/frame-fork-cranks were offered in the 1971 and 1972 price lists. They do not appear in the April 1973 price list.
According to John, Harlan Meyer's son, there were 22 head tube/seat cluster/bottom bracket lug sets produced but no more than 15 frames actually built due to casting issues with some of the lug sets. |
