What makes you think Woodrup? Maybe post some pics in a new thread requesting help with an ID, plenty of sleuths here.
Hi Sir_Name. Thank you for your reply. I have been following the frame - a 50cm in a Deep Red/Maroon - on the UK E'bay site.
When I first saw the frame I was actually unsure as I did not recognise the lugs on the head-tube as being those by Woodrup.
When I asked what the frame number was - I was told that it was TD5313.
I found the Woodrup Register/Date Chart that you have shown and that is why I asked the question.
The frame that I found could look very good once it is shot-blasted and given a new jacket of Flamboyant Crimson or a Flamboyant Maroon.
But without authenticity - it is just another steel frame.

There seems to be an awful lot of 'self kidology' about these days and it is so easily accomplished with decals and transfers being readily available on the internet.
