Wanted - Hobbs of Barbican 54-55cm frameset .

After reading @7VEN Hobbs build thread and Forum thread - Pre 1950s rides of LFGSS: old bikes, vintage rats, classic lightweights, I am very interested in owning a Hobbs.

Any model and condition will be considered.

Please let me know what you have.

Thanks very much.

Behold.....probably a bit big tho. And it wouldn't be cheap.

Actually, I may have a frameset too, closer to the required size.

There was a guy on gumtree in Axminster (Somerset) who had a f&f, might well have been on the bay also. Think his username was clockwork or some such. Was looking about two weeks back. He was also selling off Hechins and Mercians.

I rarely sell stuff but I do have a lugless Hobbs of Barbican (F&F) - one owner from new. Has Lytaloy seat post clamp too. I'll measure if interested (needs full resto though and in super rare orange flambuoyant paint).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
