Granby Taper Tube frames and early models

Posted on
  • Hope this is right section - I'm looking for any information re Granby cycles early years (1915 -1937 when they were in New Cross road)
    There are a few resources on the web I have found, and plenty of early adverts, including http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/granby.html

    Long story, but have recently found it was started by my Great Uncle (ok 2nd Great Uncle) - no one in my family alive today had any idea.

    Would be very grateful for any pointers. I would also love to get my hands on a frame built by Bill Ewings if possible. Have seen some around 'refurbished', but would love a piece of original family history.

  • Good news! Try cross posting it here

    Maybe try to contact Hillary Stone? He is notoriously hard to get hold of, but knows lots! I'm sure the VCC have a marque enthusiast for Granby? Anyway....post it in that ^ thread, and I'm sure someone with some good knowledge will point you in the right direction. Good luck, and make sure you keep us posted on developments.....it's important to keep the history of our bikes documented!

  • Many thanks for That. I have been looking at Hillary's page. He has a Granby for sale at the moment, but it's too late (my relative wouldn't have built it) and has been restored.
    The VCC are where I have found most info so far, and have emailed them for some pointers also.
    I will add details to the thread you pointed to :)
