Free - 50s/60s touring/town bike project

Posted on
  • Hi all,

    Am moving house in a couple of weeks and the realisation is dawning that I'm probably not going to get on to this project anytime soon, so one less bike to move is all the payment I need.

    It's a 50s/60s town/commuter/touring bike frame (I think) - I really don't know what it is, I suspect its English as it has some interesting lug work, but my very basic knowledge hasn't turned up much.

    Included is frame, forks, headset, bars and stem, a relatively new no-name bottom bracket and cranks, wheels and rear sprocket. It was a complete riding bike when I got it, but it sadly got robbed of a few bits (brake levers and rear mech) at the last minute when I was trying to get another bike finished for Eroica Britannia.

    I wanted to build it up as a really nice vintage touring bike for a trip around the Netherlands with a mate next year, but there are other projects that need to happen before this one! Free to anyone who thinks they can do something with it.

    Am located halfway between Finsbury Park and Archway stations, come to me or I can meet at either tube station. During the day Tuesdays + Wednesdays work, or most evenings after about 630.

    Andrew
