Andy!
A hearty welcome to the forum. Such a great frame. Box lining, lovely lugs, original paint and transfers. So much nicer than either of my Hobbs'.
Really looking forward to seeing what you do with this. Would be great to see you post when you get some bits. My cable housing arrived today. It's really nice!

Hi,
With the kind permission of @7VEN, I thought I would pop my newest project up. I was lucky enough to find this 1947 Hobbs 'Superbe' in my size recently. It has the original paint job and decals. Came with a Lytaloy headset and Bayliss Wiley BB, which I serviced and they are in pretty good shape.
It's going to be quite a slow build as sadly I am neither time nor cash rich, but I am keen to find the period correct parts and do a sympathetic build in keeping with the current condition of the frameset.
All I have purchased so far is the GB girder stem seen in the picture that was a total fleabay bargain. So...................... many pretty things to amass.
