C-mod for Mead....

The Mead is also a tall frame, and the only "C" I have seen with a curved dt.

It is a tall C model frame. Due to the taller head tube, the geometry on tall frames is a little different from a regular frame.

B, BC, C mods

Old Hotrod put this up. I see BC characteristics... so the B tank would fit this Right??

B and BC take the bigger tank??
I dig this BC Dave; thanks for posting.

Could someone help explain this? Note extra tall seat tube, 19" top of seat clamp to center of crank, but the lower top tube attaches to the down tube at a location like the 18" models. It looks like the seat tube came from a tall model but the frame is a standard. Tall or standard frame?

The 'b' and 'bc' are the same frame with different paint schemes. This applies to both the 'diamond' frame and the 'curved lower bar' frame on both 'b' and ''bc'. The 'b' model in general has 'points' pattern(*) and the 'bc' has an 'arrowhead/darts' pattern on the head tube area. (The 'c' model has been found with both 'points' and 'arrowhead/darts' pattern). Depending how they are equipped with or without tanks changes the model within the 'b' or 'bc' range offerings. To answer one of the questions above-the tank from the 'bc' will fit the regular motorbike 'b' frame-and vice verse! (Actually the 'bc' tank pressings are the same as the 'b' motorbike but without a door and have a push button buzzer on the left side in place of the door found on the motorbike tank.).

(*)The paint pattern will vary on 'b.f. goodrich' built models.
