Hobbs of Barbican Blue Riband frameset. I acquired it and was informed that it is 70+ years old and has undergone minor alterations since then. It has the recognisable Hobbs lugwork, but unable to find a recognisable number on the left dropout, nor on the steerer tube, I consulted the Hobbs expert at the VCC. His response was "I am delighted to tell you that your frame is a Continental Superbe (Blue Riband) from, I'd hazard a guess, early 1940s. Beautiful frame."
It's 23" from centre to top. Everything that is pictured is for sale here. I'm after £450 for it. I have a double-fixed 700c wheelset with Airlite hubs, which are available too. More photos to follow.
