So I was looking at eBay during the weekend and bid on these which I got at a good price. Ultra ratty early two-arm Chater-Lea fluted cranks. Unsure what I'm going to do with them yet.
I'd like to build this new as yet unknown 1946 Hobbs up with some sort of super complicated Cyclo Oppy/Osgear style setup. Anyone know what sort of early derailleur systems would have been out in the late 40's? If anyones got any leads on anyone that has one for sale, please let me know!
