Re:

This page from the 1978 Littlewoods Catalogue confirms that BSA did indeed produce a junior bike named "Bullet". Different colour to yours so, perhaps it was different colours depending on the year?....

Great news you found your bike . Catalogue bikes were a law unto themselves with names and build spec..

Bit of work

Triggers bike - it's had a new top tube, down tube, seat tube & stays but it's still an original BSA bullet

 

[Mr D]

It is indeed still an original BSA Bullet frame
Find another one !
I would literally give this frame to BarryDiz
Should he want to collect it just for his story
and the rest he can bolt on from donor bike of similar age and size.

Otherwise let's see what eBay thinks It's worth.
