S0, I acquired a rather rare E.F. Russ frame off ebay rather unexpectedly. Yes, Russ of the famed 'Russ-type Forks) A high quality frame made of Reynolds High Manganese, the pre-curser to 531, including some rather nice details such as a chain hanger, and bottom bracket and head clip oil ports.
Decided to build it up as a fixed gear , as this was the norm on club and racing bikes of the period.
So far, this is where I have got too:
Frame, head clip and stem, bailey type bars and bSA double fluted crankset with will aims chainring (1937 date code)
