That Hodge frame looks very desirable, but I won't be bidding as I have too many other projects.
By an odd co-incidence this is the second time in the past few days I've come across this name. I've just prepared a bike for a novice to try out riding a lightweight, and it is based on a Dave Moulton frame. Looking up Mr. Moulton (no relation to the small wheel school of thought) I learn that his start in frame building was with 'Pop' Hodge in Luton in 1957. The old man was eighty at that time, but I don't doubt the truth of the statement - people in the bike trade often go on to a great age.
I don't know whether my novice will get on with this bike because it's a 'racey' design with a very short wheelbase (37.5"), but I must say I was very impressed with its stability when road testing.
