I've got a '53 bolt-up frame, and it's got no trouser gusset. I believe the first year didn't, as the Manx.The tab at the top of the head tube will have a month and year stamped into it.The bolt-up rear section is not original, or maybe just a shortened loop, as is the added cross brace between loops, toward the back of the main frame. I think that was a bit different from the factory. Neither here nor there, if you don't care. I've got another bolt-up subframe if you'd like photos or specs.Looks like the start of a fun project!
