• I had a conversation with the Grubb marquee enthusiast of the VCC and, albeit not 100% sure, he think it may not be a Grubb.
    If it was, it would be one of those build in a "dark period" of the Grubb bicycles, where nothing is yet known. The period of 1952 and 1953 as soon as the brand went under Holdsworth. Which would be a rare find. Still, it would be a frame with some peculiarities.
    One is the straight brake bridge. All the ones that came from under Holdsworth have a curved bridge.
    The other is represented by the seat stays eyes. Here are double fluted, which is not like anything he's seen on a Grubb.

    I do agree with him as in my little research I also noticed those discrepancies.
    Would be nice to know something about that fork crown and the tubing of this frame (plain or double butted 531)
