That would mean that you always lied then when you told your GF when caught with a Playboy mag, that you didn't look at the pics, you only bought it to read the articles...lol...lol.

Dealers had a "dimpling tool". Experts can tell the difference between factory dimpling and the frame modification done with the tool.

Reference:

Do all Whizzer Frames have WZ designated on serial number? | Motorized Bicycles

I cleaned this up enough to see the serial number and expected to see a wz on the serial number but it started with o. It has the bracket for long brake arm and heavy weld around seat post.

Ahh, now I know exactly what a dimpled frame is, TY all. I've seen plenty of dimples now that you mention it.

Thanks Risk Man. That answered some of my questions. I was going to mention that I have seen both styles of dimpled frames. The flat style & the C style dimpled frames. But I've came across more of the flat style dimpled frames.
It seems b4 1948 alot of the whizzer/whizzer converted bikes used the flat style dimples. Thanks. Appreciate it.


As always, I cleaned up your "mess" for you on that "glitch" posting you made...lol...lol...Damien

That also explains that bikes built b4 1948 the frames did not have the welded engine brackets or the welded extended brake tab.
