Hi all, just thought it would say a few words. Bought a bomber 5 speed off evil bay as I had one back in the day. And I must say it is still one of the best bikes I have ever owned full grin factor and ride quality. Have tried dating my bike but I just have a number stamped into the bottom bracket which is 62106 doesn't seem to match up with details given in the dating sticky. Mark Kilsby

welcome in mate. I tried dating my bomber once, bought her flowers and everything as I'm an old romantic.

LOL good one old boy. I need it dating for an age related plate as I want to register it for road use as I have fitted it with a 39cc engine. Goes like stink and laughing your head off at 25mph makes me feel like a kid again. Will post pics when i get back on the laptop but not sure what the purists will think? Need some silver mudguards. ... any ideas? As I hear the original ones are as rare as hens teeth. Mark

Yeah, number should be on the back of the seat post, e.g. NH2039299 is one of mine, first three are all that's important, N for Nottingham, H for June, 2 for 1982. Looking forward to seeing the pics of yours,

Sounds about right to me, as the five speed was a later model. Welcome aboard by the way - sounds like a really different project - good luck with it and as others have said, will look forward to the pics.
