Hi there Tony Welcome in...

Not much to go on there, because DT175's have been made from 1974 to practically present day!! well that might be a bit of an exaggeration There's the early 70's through to the late 80's then another production in the early 90's through to early 2000's.

Early ones (1970s-80's) are not year dated, so the frame number won't help, but later ones are. A picture of your future purchase would help in at least narrowing it down to the model by its appearance...

Take a look at this website which gives you the different years

Let us know if you need further help once you know what it looks like.

Thanks for the reply it's a bit of a brave project and don't  think all the parts are from the same/age bike 

Have you got a email so I can some pics through please 

Cheers tony
