My middle son has decided he wants to have another go at riding a bike. This is his machine as it was retrieved from the shed where it had been slumbering for the past couple of decades - naturally, it's my job to fix it.
This might possibly have gone to the 'New Groupset on Old Frame' heading, but I've put it here because although the kit is much later than the frame I doubt whether many people here would recognise it as 'new'.
I believe the frame is a pre-war Claud Butler, the equipment is what I had lying around when I built it. The cranks are slightly unusual, Gnutti steel cotterless, which Matthew favoured on the ground that he might break ali cranks - possible, he's a completely different build from me. The chainrings are TA 'Criterium' which were once very common, but are now pretty rare because the minimum inner ring is 43 teeth.
I will post another pic. when it's done - I hope it will look attractive.
