Hi Robert/Paul,

I have a front "Frystyle" alloy mudguard on my wideline Domi rolling chassis, but the back one has no markings. Not a far eastern item I don't think as I bought the bike in 1980 when we still made things in GreatBritain. The guard didn't look that new then, so I would guess it was a 1960s cafÃ? racer item from an after-market company. If you have any bike magazines from that era you might find an advert.

Regards, Richard.

Thanks. I just purchased a 500T and both guards are stamped Frystyle. Just wondered if they could be original to the bike (1949). The prievious owner had the bike from 1970 and they were on it then.
