Serial numbers were stamped on the bottom side of the bottom bracket shell and, at
least sometimes, on the bottom of the fork crown and/or on the steerer tube. The first
2 digits represent the year that the frame was built. The third digit is a place holder,
and is always a 1. After that comes the number of the frame. Frame numbers ran sequent-
ially from when Johnny began building under his own name. Johnny died in 1974. His last
frame (which was made for himself) was #741913.
World Championship color bands were added to his frames after Audrey McElmury won
the women's road racing World Championship in Brno, Czechoslovakia in 1969 on a Berry.

Alan Woods' (original owner) #721891
