Dating the Frame

I'm going to have to change the blog description.

So it turns out that I was very slack and just guessed that I was dealing with a 1970s frame. After visiting cykelhobby it turns out that the frame is really from the 60s! The linked page describes that frames with a serial number starting with a 3 are from the 1960s and a serial number starting with 4 is a 1970s. I have no idea exactly when and would love some help but if the brakes are original then it is most likely mid-late 60s.

    I built a fixie from the Crescent världmästarcyckeln and it has the serial number starting with 3. So is that really from the 60's?

    Hi Jocke,

    it seems so according to that this site:
    http://www.cykelhobby.com/92320ident.htm

    "Nummer som börjar på 3 tillhör 60-talet medan nummer på 4 tyder på att de är tillverkade på 70-talet"

    "Numbers starting at 3 belong to the 60's while the number of 4 indicates that they are made in the 70s"
