The year is 1980
Thew material is CIBA Geigy M board which is a aluminum honey backed combed composite.
It predates both the Heron Suzuki commonly wrongly credited and the NZ Hiscock Suzuki which was earlier and the 250 Armstrong by at least 2 years.
So what is it? for the correct answer there could be a virtual chocky fish in it?No cheating though

UGLY!

But kinda cool tho, I like the rivets, they are at my level of engineering (need a duct tape/cable tie smiley here)

Not sure what it is but I just got that annoying feeling when you find someone has already tried some idea you had that you though was original and creative.
It's not quite what I was thinking but close.

No they aren't, I'm yet to see an aircraft held together with duct-tape and cable ties!

Garnnie 50cc gp bike; spelling is going to let me down (don't want to open motocourse to find correct answer)

nope.......

[Grumph]

Looks like something Eric Offenstadt might have built....distinct French/Swiss connection with Fournales struts and Egli forks.

Should have seen the second spark plug lead.....

OK the frame that everyone associates with the Bike and indeed the marque as it has become a trademark of the brand is this.
It seems they commissioned two frames in 1980. So as you see they want with what they knew and obviously the prettier version.

The shocks are Fox,but i agree with Grumph they look like Fournales . I also think the forks are Mazzochi?

Segale did the monocoque frame.
i thought the swingarm might be the giveaway. As i had seen this on other Segale's.
So ok it was a bit naughty of me as it seems it was never raced.
But the story (attached below) is worth a look.
