SFC

[sfc vintage]

Hi.
if you look at: D, you can see a difference, plus if you look at the bracket itself, there is a very sharp edge, usually when a frame is from 1974, it does not look like that. man my opinion. The frame looks like a replica, I have owned one, same model.

Hi: see here

You should compare the stamping with another SFC, not with an SF.
If you find an SFC with such stamping I can guarantee you that it‘s a replica!

I know that the text itself is different, but that they use a different tool for: D, yes to me it seems strange, if you look for D, it is a completely different shape, plus if you see the ad on carandclassic, you can see that the bracket is super sharp as it is laser cut. Did you have that if not in 1974?

Can you guys come up with a damn verdict yet? I want to buy it! Is a guy from Barcelona by the way

So is it a fake of a fake, or just a complete f*ke up by the factory.?

As I already wrote in 2014, it is a genuine 1974 US model 750SFC, with messy stamping, both in frame and engine.

Even if it's authentic, you'll have problems at resale if you want to sell.
Buyers are cautious when large sums are involved.

It's actually a Jota.

Thanks Marnix, I was just being facetious with my previous post.

Mine has the same shape D and is 90 SFCs before 17188.

Well, with so many confusing statements, I thought that maybe it’s good to sum the bike up in one, hopefully clear, line.

Maurice came with a very sensible comment. Here’s a pic of the stamping of 17148.

If I was reaching into my wallet, that bike (48) would be a more attractive buy.

Not if the seller is aware of this thread! One could argue that the double stamp increases price a la valuations in numismatic circles.
