Top frame tube SFC1K

[mauricejota7604]

Hello I have a question regading my mates 1988 wire wheel SFC1K main top frame tube, his top tube appears to have a 10mm deflection downwards at the headstock.
Does anyone know if this is typical or a we looking at a modified frame.
Thanks,
M.

What frame number is the bike, please? Just to be sure it is really a series 2 bike...

Never did get a chance to ride that one, even though it's Scottish owner kept promising me a play on it.

Yes it is the Scottish bike may have had a frontender in its past?
Lothar it is a 1988 wire wheel not sure what number but I will check up.

So it's Russell Taylor's old bike.

As far as I remember he had John McGrath do some work on it after a shunt - I'd be very surprised if an engineer like John missed frame damage.

Still mildly annoyed that Russell didn't sell me his SFC spare bodywork
