Yup. Looks like it's a BC 98

Are there specific ways you could tell? Just asking for future reference. Also, any catalog pics or pics in general? Looking for any info available!

Anyone know how to tell if it’s a c model or a b model?

I believe that would be a C model determined buy the straight down tube.

Straight down tube and the top bar is straight coming from the head tube back, then it curves down. Here's a 38. So what's the secret serial number?

Member @Krakatoa may be able to help with that fork. I’m looking at sending him one of mine, and if you go see his post in the services section he clearly does top quality work!

Definitely C model...

Here’s the S/N. It seems to be 1935.

So it's a 36.

Ok. I believe it may be a c model due to the frame geometry.
