also measured it

Top tube 58.5 cm ctc
seat tube 57.5 cm ctc

I'll post up more when I've had a chance to get to my laptop and not do this from my phone

bump,

as said above, I'm open to offers on this. There is some minor rusting on the rims and the paint has a few bumps here and there, but this is all to be expected as it is a VERY OLD bicycle.

I'm going to give it a good clean this weekend, PM me if you want to view it

When Australian immigration ask if you have any criminal convictions, make sure you reply "I didn't think you still needed one!"

haha good humor

p.s not sure about lever, have u not got anything within keeping with the period

Hello,

I'm afraid I've not got another lever, but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find one. I do have the original brake levers which are both drop bar type ones. Plus I've got all the old gear mech's and extra chain ring etc.

I've put a load of pictures up on my flickr here:

and as I said I would be open to reasonable offers.

@bikeboy if you want to come see it, when would be good for you? I'm free tomorrow evening or on the weekend?

Ok special tweed run discount

I'll do it for £700

email me tonight and you could be riding it on the run :-)

Ok, I'm going to bump it up again on the off chance.

I'll take £600 if anyone can offer that, I realise the original price was a little too high, but it's a lovely think and I didn't want to let it go too easily.

lots of pictures up here on my flickr.

:( So beautiful and really doesn't need the price drop I don't think - but it's just too small for me!

Stick it on eBay.

People will only pay what they think it is worth.

It probably will end up on ebay, but I figured I'm more likely to find someone who'll love it on here first.

obviously people will only pay what they think it's worth. It's a pretty darn rare bike though, so I'm not giving it away ;-)

I kinda want this but mostly for the bars....

the rest is ridiculously nice too.
but too big for me.

I kinda want this but mostly for the bars....

alas I really think it would be a crime to split this one.

"Hey! I like your nose, give it to me!"

This is not a site I've seen before but felt I had to join in as I used to own one of these bikes. I bought it second hand in about 1958 in Cardiff. I don't know how old it was but I think it was pretty new and in immaculate condition. It had two front chain rings (called double clangers then) and a four speed Huret derailleur, which I soon changed for Campagnolo. The rear wheel was threaded on one side for fixed wheel and the other for freewheel and I used to change regularly from one to the other but generally used the freewheel for longer rides. What a brilliant bike. It looked so good. Probably it was heavy but I don't recall struggling with it.... younger then of course! I kept it for about 8 years and enjoyed many, many miles on it including Bristol to Torquay when I was 16. Sold it to a neighbour for his boy who sadly had it stolen after about a week. Always regretted letting it go but I had a motorbike and car in the garage by then. Best of luck with your sale and I hope it goes to a good home.

Major bump here. I bought one of these bikes with a view to doing a full restoration, alas it's still gathering dust in my garage. The bike is complete but needs work. I'm moving house and need it shifted. Based in Yorkshire, any offers?

Plenty more pics.

Still available? I'm miles away though. I have one too but need some parts or merge them together...

Do you still have the old mech and chain ring? I have one of these and am looking for parts.

Thanks
