Hello Martin: It's a little difficult to say from just glancing at those photos, but my guess would be late 1950s to mid 1960s. I had a blue one very similar to that that was from about 1968, and had early Nuovo Record parts on it, but I've seen frames just like mine that were from about 1963 also.... Are there any dating clues, like hub locknuts, or a date code on the bars if they are Titan brand? Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan
