What’s your plan for the build?
Silly of me, I forgot to mention this.
In it's new form it will be a tourer, with 26" by one and quarter rims and a Sturmey FM hub.
I would have used 700's (actual touring may require emergency replacements), but the front forks are so short that 700's can only be used without mudguards. This is the only prewar frame I've come across where this is the case, all the others could take 700's and mudguards, although some would only take 23 mm tyres.Surprisingly, one previous use was as a TT, bike but more of this (with photo) later.
Tonight's progress: new bottom bracket bearing, and almost all new headset fitted.
BTW, I really started this thread in order to compel myself to get on with the job.
