i see what you mean, but as 130cm is 1.3m they would have to be some seriously long forks to have that sort of fill point or air gap!

Ā 

almost certainly 130cc as stated above.

Thanks guys ,still don't understand what the # sign meens

# is the number sign which according to Wikipedia quote below could be something to do with weight/quantity. Not much help but it seems to point to some form of quantity.

'It is often claimed that the symbol traces its origins to the symbol ā„”, an abbreviation of the Roman term libra pondo, which translates as "pound weight".'

Mainstream use in the United States is as follows: when it prefixes a number, it is read as "number", as in "a #2 pencil" (indicating "a number-two pencil"). When the symbol follows a number, the symbol indicates weight in pounds. (Five pounds are indicated as 5#.) This traditional usage still finds handwritten use, and may be seen on some signs in markets and groceries. It is also commonly known as the "pound sign".
