Mk1 bombers have plastic chainguards like grifters, have cable clips for the gear cable, a round bar on the rear chainstay where the brake attaches and the early ones have a reflector bracket welded onto the seatpost.
Mk2s have steel chainguards like burners, tabs and plastic clips to hold the gear cable, a flat bar for the rear brake mount.
The seat design also changed, the early ones have a unique, wide saddle where as the later ones have the more narrow ones as seen on the supergrifter.
Earlies Bombers I know of is 1981.

Thanks Paul, I've got a Mk1 then, the only date I've found is on the hub and it's 81-9 so could this be an early one?

The reflector is on the saddle, never even seen one with one on the seatpost?
