The rear of the Graham frame deepens into a banjo shape and the rear axle tubes are passed through, the axle being finally assembled in the frame. The front and rear road springs are anchored outside the frame. Attached print shows frame size of Graham, 20/25 and Bentley. From our observations we think that the Graham chassis is very good, better than at first expected. | ||
